The Origami Forum

has anyone ever seen this and is it any good quality im noy very knowledgeableabout this sort of paper. also if i bought acrylic paint dilited it with MC would it work on this paper for a very vivid colouring.

I saw a roll of 20# kraft paper at a local hobby lobby (kinda like a micheals) for 20 bucks. there is a michaels in Savannah (where I used to live before I moved) which should only be about 30 minutes from Columbia. You could try that, its fairly cheap, and I think that michaels sells some good origami stuff (well they did like in 2003, i don't know about know) so they may carry it. you should try it out sometime.
I am not sure if that would work either, so try it on a test sheet of like tracing paper or something first

Sounds much like what I use - normally I make it double layer (or even triple) with MC. Without MC I cannot do anything worthwhile with it though. Acrylic in MC is fine too.

yeah this paper sucks without mc but with mc it is amazing! you should get it. also tadashimori has a video on his channel of him sizing/painting this paper with mc and acrylic paint

thanks all i might buy it
