I am an artist working with Japanese mulberry paper & pressed flowers. I then treat the paper to make it waterproof & stronger.

I have been trying for ages to find a craftsman to make the wood component to create a shoji screen (room divider). In desperation I bought a cheap shoji screen & pulled the internals out of it so I was just left with the wooden screen. I then added my artwork. It look great but would look much classier in better wood, & with better crafting.

Maybe we can work together to create them Can you help me. thanks

Irene

Sorry, guys, I know that this thread is rather old, but Irene, if you still need a custom frame made, let me know. I have a shoji business in Sydney and would like to help.
