Handmade Papers
I have always wanted to make my own paper so I could have that homemade feel and look. I loved those journals and books that have ragged edges and flower pieces in them. Since the city has not brought paper recycling back, it gave me the perfect motivation to start making 8.5×11 sheets from used paper, junk mail, and whatever other sources. The result is a unique, sturdy sheet of paper great for making cards and scrapbook layouts (some sheets I make acid free).
I will post photographs in my Gallery of the thank you card and stationery sets that I create using this wonderful paper which do include cards and envelopes in a lovely box. Some sheets I’ve added embellishments right in the paper like dried flowers, embossed shapes, glitter, and even seeds so you can plant the paper when you’re done with it like with cards and invitations. My next step is to create printer friendly paper, a variety of sizes including up to 12×12, and possibly even wood-pulp free papers.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and to order.
