Who could resist this? It's not only a genius marketing plan, it's a great way to offer ensure everlasting loyalty. Just post an advertisement for The Paper Place's contest for a chance to win the ultimate Chiyogami sample pack, an 8.5x11” sheet of every Chiyogami paper (637 patterns in total with a retail value $1911.00, all tied up with a pretty red bow), and with the appropriate links win extra chances to win it yourself. What self-respecting book artist could resist a package like this, arriving at their workshop, gratis? Definitely a great way to start the new year (the contest ends Dec. 31st).
I don't use at lot of Japanese paper in my work so far (though I did use some in the 2007 flagbook New Years cards I made) but this would be a great excuse to explore it. I think I'd probably start making boxes and blank journals like mad. And star books. And, and, and maybe learning origami! Great materials are really inspiring, and a pile of paper like this just makes me drool. I'm looking forward to getting back to work on a bunch of projects and this would be a marvelous incentive.
So, like, don't tell anybody else about this, K? I wanna win!
It's tempting, but I promise not to enter. Good luck.
