This short video is looking at composition, colour, line and balance, with hints and tips on how to recognise when to stop and when you should keep adding to the image.
This is not something that is black and white (sorry about the colour reference pun). And there will be inevitable mistakes made on the way but the video helps to give you the confidence to keep going or stop and to have faith in your own judgement.

![Felting Mulberry Papers Using the Korean Art of Joomchi. - The Beggining - exploring the process.
Let’s get Started - The Art of Joomchi, The Beginning.
This technique uses the particular qualities of mulberry paper to craft papers into a solid and durable fabric-like material. Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) is manipulated by hand, moulded and felted, rubbed and coaxed, causing the long fibres, typical of mulberry papers, to felt and adhere to each other. The paper becomes stronger the more it is worked.
The process creates strong, textural, textile-like papers that become elegantly smooth. The result can be six times stronger than ordinary Hanji papers and can be sewn into clothing or used to make functional items such as wallets, containers and covers.
With scant information about this process, Louise follows advice to just give it a go. This exploration of the materials and process will be shared as a journey you can join. Hope you enjoy it and experience this technique and the unique qualities of handmade mulberry paper.

Hanji, or Korean paper, is the name of traditional handmade paper from Korea. Hanji or mulberry paper is made from the inner bark of Broussonetia papyrifera, known colloquially as paper mulberry or DAK. Dak is a tree native to Korea that grows well on the sunny slopes of Korea’s many mountains. It is prized for its long white fibres. The formation aid crucial to making hanji is the mucilage that oozes from the roots of the Hibiscus Manihot. This substance helps suspend individual fibres in water. Traditional hanji is produced in laminated sheets using the we bal method (a sheet formation technique), which allows for multi-directional grain[3]. Creating hanji also employs dochim, a method of pounding finished sheets to compact fibres and lessen ink bleed. Hanji paper is famous across Asia for its white colour and extreme durability and was a high import to China in tribute missions.
