No. I think you risk losing your funds. This isn't a brain wallet, how are you going to remember the random seed? The warp-site isn't the problem, your interpretation is.
If you want to print a QR-code, why not use BIP38 encryption? I wouldn't show it off though, just like you don't leave a pile of cash on the table to impress visitors.

I think that you better skip the idea of the brain wallet. They were proven insecure for years.
Why you don't just set up a safe offline OS, maybe without persistence too, and just run from there either Electrum or Sparrow, either run there Ian Coleman's bip39 page?
Then you should have a proper HD seed to work with.
Or, if you want only to give a nice present that maybe won't be used too, you can look for a good old and reputed vanity generator you can maybe use offline (just beware, not all vanity generators are reputable!), getting a nice address like 1NfiSHBCB4qYoQZTzGe3Er5f9gb7X1hVRj, which (together with private key) you can use for some hand-made paper wallet.
In any case, I would not use printer, unless maybe if I install it from start onto that offline OS; the private key or seed should not touch systems that will ever go online.

Hello Charles,
This is because I want to give her not only the QR code, but a nice object with the QR printed on it.
So she can "feel" it, something she could put in her home and show her hosts she now has bitcoins.

Why using brain wallet when you can use HD wallet? Use HD wallet, generate the seed phrase, fund one of the addresses or the addresses of your choice and give the seed phrase as a gift to your mum, telling her how the seed phrase is very important, how to avoid it and her coin not to be stolen and telling her how the seed phrase is the coin that you gave her.

Hello,
I plan to create a brain wallet by doing the following:
* Create securely a random seed and print its QR code
* Use the https://keybase.io/warp/warp_1.0.9_SHA256_a2067491ab582bde779f4505055807c2479354633a2216b22cf1e92d1a6e4a87.html algorithm with my seed as the password and a classic/human-made/weak password (that my mother can remember) as the salt.
* Instead of using Scrypt, use argon2
* Generate a wallet
* Send some satoshis
* Give the QR code to my mum as a gift
Do you think it is secure enough?
Thanks
