This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about my washi tape project called Mapping Memories. I started it through Speckled Canary, my newest endeavor that plans fun art projects for everyone to enjoy!
The original deadline to sign up was August 16… but I’m happy to announce it’s been extended until August 31. So if you were thinking about signing up, you still have the chance!

Washi tape artwork by Marisa of Omiyage!
Mapping Memories revolves washi tape, which I absolutely love. It’s great—there are so many bright colors and patterns. Washi tape makes everything more fun! Mapping Memories takes advantage of these slightly-transparent tapes and invites participants to make art with it. I’ve partnered with Marisa of the wonderful shop Omiyage for this project. She’s generously provided an exclusive discount code for participants.
Theme: The project theme is “memories,” (your memories, specifically). Once you’re done, you’ll send their finished piece to me and I’ll add it to a special map showcasing everyone’s washi tape memories around the world. See what that map looks like — it’s a custom Google map.
The deadline for artwork is November 15, 2015.
Contest: Mapping Memories is also a contest! Prizes will be awarded to the top three artworks. Omiyage and Speckled Canary are providing prizes.
Some of the “Washi Tape Starter Kits” I’ve sent!
No tape? No problem! There is so much variety in washi tape that it can be overwhelming to choose! For participants who don’t have any tape, we’re offering a special Washi Tape Starter Kit that comes with 5 rolls of custom-selected tape from the following brands: MT, maste, and Classiky. The kit is $15 and available internationally.
For those who already have a ton of tape, the cost to participate is cut by a third — $3 gets you into the project + an exclusive promo code for 20% off anything in the Omiyage shop.
Hope you participate!
