Paper and the Challenge Box

I am still unhappy with the tissue paper I painted to use for my challenge box, despite adding another layer of paint. The challenge is due Saturday week so I need to get moving.

The box is intended to hold a collection of stamps carved from bubbly corks and I was going to stamp the painted paper with them. I think the problem is that the paper is now too busy and the stamps will get lost. I will try a small section tomorrow to see.

But I now have another idea. Today I bought two packets of joss papers from the Chinese supermarket in Fremantle. One is a collection of papers in various colours. The other is an brown paper printed with a silver-gold square. More experiments tomorrow.
