Collecting joss paper...
I'll be the first one to admit, I'm a paper hound. Have been since my childhood, and joss paper, in its myriad forms, is high on my list of collectables. And while I do burn it on occasion, more often than not it's being used, with the utmost respect, in scrapbooking.
I've been looking around the web for images to snag and am now building a home to display them in. Please, feel free to join, add to the collection, or simply enjoy the craftsmanship. Heaven knows I do. ^__^
