Hi everyone, I think there used to be 10-inch paper, sold in packs of 100 sheets, with many different colors on one side, and white on the other side. These used to be available in art stores and online, but now I'm looking and looking and not really finding anything like that. All the sites seem to focus on artisanal papers with intricate designs, or the same color on both sides.
Or else I'll see some tantalizing product that lists itself as "solid color", but with no accompanying photo to indicate that it has white on the other side. Paper Jade has a few options with one color on one side and another on the other, but then it's 100 sheets of blue on one side and yellow on the other, or something like that. No variety, no white, and the sheets are only 6 inches to a side. Kim's Crane is in a similar boat, with descriptions like "There are 60 sheets of origami folding paper, 50 different colors, Paper size is 176mm (7 inches)." I.e. no statement about whether there is white on the other side, and the paper is too small. OrigamiUSA seems to be in the same boat too. I can actually find 10 inch sheets, but only 20 of them to a pack, and the coloring is 2 supposedly complementary colors, rather than one side colored and the other side white. It seems like everywhere I look it's the same story. Also, I'll go into art stores all over my city (Paris), and it's the same. Even amazon.fr seems to be the same. I know origami is in a renaissance etc., and people are doing more sculptural origami with foil, wetfolding, and high class washi paper. But I'm mostly doing Montroll, Yoshizawa, and other simple stuff with color-change motifs. Just the old regular paper is perfect for me. Does anyone know where to find it these days? Many thanks, Zack -- Zack Brown
