My Friend Sigrid works at the 'Japanese Paper Place'
on Queen Street (Toronto). She is also an artist who works with
dyes/stitching to create her won art work.
I regret that I do not recall the names of the papers but I will talk to her
this week and post the info.
The selection in the store is quite amazing

Where in Toronto does your friend work?
What kind of paper does he or she recommend?
Thanks
