Three years ago we began our annual tradition of a holiday giveaway with The Great Chiyogami Giveaway. When trying to decide what to offer this year we thought – what can really top hundreds of sheets of Chiyogami? Our answer was…. nothing! So we are proud to announce The 2nd Great Chiyogami Giveaway!!
This year we have put together the ultimate Chiyogami prize package, one 8.5×11 sample sheet of each of the over 700 patterns we offer online! For those of you who have not worked with Chiyogami before (sometimes called Yuzen), prepare to have your mind blown. This silkscreen paper is created by building up layers of ink to create papers with stunning depth and beauty (click here to see the process!).
Here are the ways you can enter:
First, simply leave a comment below. That will earn you 1 entry in the contest.
Want to increase your odds? Mention our contest in your blog using one of the pictures from this post and add a link to your post in your comment below. This will earn you 5 extra entries.
Another way to earn 5 extra entries is to add a link in your comment to a photo of any artwork you have done that incorporates Chiyogami in it. Please only post links to photos you have permission to use of work YOU have done.
You will receive 1 additional entry per tweet!
And finally, for the Chiyogami Super Fans out there (and we know you are out there!), make a video, upload it to Youtube and provide a link in your comment below. Let us know why you should be the one to win, the more creative the better – doing so earns you 50 extra entries!!!
The contest will run from December 1st – December 15th, 2011. The winner will be chosen by using a random number selector and notified after the close of the contest. Remember, for us to contact you should you win, you must enter your email address in the appropriate box provided when submitting your post. It will remain private and NOT be used for any solicitation purposes! If you do wish to join our email list, you can do so at the bottom of the blog menu.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hi, I am crazy about your papers! I have attempted to attach a few picture of collages I have made with an assortment of Japanese papers (many from your beautiful online store!). Chiyogami is my favorite, but it is so beautiful I tend to use it sparingly. That pile of paper is the most wonderful thing ever!!! I hope I win. Thanks!

I went to your store for the first time on Dec 3rd, when I was visiting Toronto. Your Chiypgami paper display was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. In fact, at first, I thought it was fabric, that’s how luscious it looked. Love at first site in fact. After making my purchase, I left your store, and about 15 minutes later, fell over and broke my left wrist. I still think I came out ahead! So now you can imagine how much I would be thrilled to win your annual great give-away!
thanks,
Jess
I love this paper and use it in most of my handmade books and journals.
I also live in Southwestern Ontario and shop on line or by phone — it’s so easy!
http://www.etsy.com/shop/firstavestudio?ref=si_shop
Wow, what an amazing gift that would be.
Oooh…..I’d love to win your giveaway. A bonus would be that I could just pick it up at your store as I live in the area. That reminds me, I haven’t visited in a while. Perhaps during the holidays when I’m looking for inspiration for a new project.
This paper is so beautiful, and the number of patterns is mind boggling. It would be impossible not to be inspired.
I love paper! Such wonderful paper! That delicious stack just makes you want to roll around in it, except for the thought of papercuts and crumpled bits! LOL I would love to use some with the children I do art therapy with, as well as my own art.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this! Thanks for the opportunity!
I am so addicted to paper, especially chiyogami paper. The richness of the colour just suits so many different paper projects that I get involved with. And truthfully, I just love Japanese paper. I can spend hours just looking through the patterns and colours. When it actually gets down to working with it, I lose all track of time and have looked up at the clock to find that several hours have elapsed and the clock on the wall says that it is after 4 a.m., well and truly past my bedtime. LOL To have a stash of chiyogami paper like the bundle shown in the picture, would be a dream come true and I would spend hour upon hour through the winter, spring, summer and fall finding ways to use this paper to showcase its beauty and post the pictures in my blog – http://rutheemac-myartisticjourney.blogspot.com/ If I were lucky enough to win, I can guarantee you that my squeals of delight would be heard in many countries.
[...] entering this contest you will have a chance to win over 700 pages of Chiyogami Paper from The Paper Place in [...]
Oh I love Chiyogami so much.
Here is a photo of some hardcover hand-bound books I made. The covers of the first, third and fifth books from the left are wrapped in Chiyogami paper! http://twitpic.com/7mxj2u

I love and adore colors and textures of chiyogami papers, so kindly include my name in your contest. I made book covers, boxes, storage boxes for DVD’s, lamp shades from chiyogami and many cards.

Interesting concept.
Does the inking allowing for exact folds after the layers have been built up?
Does the dry ink fracture when making folds?
This makes me crazy excited, just seeing that amazing stack o gorgeousness, wow! I love it!!!! I love all your products, but the Chiyogami papers are so beautiful and inspiring! I am going to upload a picture when I figure out how.

I am looking forward to winning this prize so I can begin creating endless amounts of beautiful items adorned with Chiyogami paper
What fun it would be to share these wonderful papers with all my friends.
What an amazing giveaway! My mind is swirling with ideas of what to do with all this beautiful paper.
I dream of coming to your store one day! In the meantime, I make books for gifts for friends and family and teach my class of elementary students how to make them, as well. I have a bookmaking club for older students in our school and sometimes purchase beautiful Japanese paper for their creations. I have framed chiyogami paper in my home and have been known to drag my family into art stores when on a road trip to seek out even more gorgeous paper. I would be thrilled to use this paper with my students. Thanks for your consideration of my entry.
I use Chiyogami paper to fold into portfolio’s for my ATC’s and Zentangle tiles. Chiyogami paper is beautiful and durable. I love it!
I used chiyogami paper to cover a bangle and it turned out beautiful. Best paper ever!!!!
The possibilities are endless with Chiyogami
I know a few hundred little “folders” and “wanna be folders” that would love to work with this chiyogami paper. As a teacher without a classroom I meet and apprentice many in the creation of origami paper stars. I borrow, recycle and re purpose paper to supply the star builders and I must mention, the thousand stars we made out of silver hot lunch wrappers in a little rural school. When we hung them… LUMINEUX! If children are taken seriously when offered quality “creating” materials they feel their own value. They come to honour and work respectfully with beautiful objects. Next trip to your shop I shall be making some lovely choices for “my little folding peeps.”
I love papers! not to mention that these papers are gorgeous!!
I love chiyogami. I use it for paper-cutting, collage, and card-making. So beautiful and fun to use. Please enter me in the contest! Thanks.

what would I do with all of that amazing Chiyogami paper?? Well I think I would defintiely use it in some special book projects and I’d bring a bunch with me to havana, cuba where I do volunteer work with children and artists in a community project known as Muraleando. They have so little of everything and I always bring all my supplies with me to do book workshops with them …these papers would blow their minds!!! I generally try to bring some nice papers with me and they are treated like gold to this community…very special. I will cross my fingers and say a little prayer or two. Thank you for the opportunity. Very generous of the Paper Place!!!

Hi! Awesome contest – wish I had found it earlier. I’m an art student at the Alberta College of Art and Design and over this last semester I have focused on a whole class to origami – using origami in an artistic, aesthetic context. As well, I am in progress of silkscreening my own chiyogami paper!! I haven’t quite finished yet, but I will post photos up on my blog, hopefully by Monday next week as the project is due next Wednesday (Dec7).
Thanks so much for this great opportunity!!!
