I made my first washi tape! Pollen-Dusted Bumblebees Design


I made my first washi tape! and it is now available! Of course my first design is fluffy pollen-dusted bumblebees. For anyone who isn't familiar with washi: it is a Japanese-style paper-based decorative tape, usually made from rice paper and printed with soy-based inks, making it eco friendly as well as pretty. It's mainly used for gift-wrap, packaging, and things like journals and scrapbooking.

I'm so happy with the quality - the print is sharp, the paper is strong and lovely, and the adhesive is very sticky! It's got me thinking what design to do next...
