I call myself a “Paper Dragon” for good reason. I am obsessed with beautiful and interesting hand made papers. It’s been a life-long journey through an amazing world of color, themes, prints and textures. My collection has been referred to as a hoard… I know I’m not the only one who loves paper this much… And I love sharing my treasures with other paper enthusiasts…
TREASURE BOOKS
Write*Draw*Give*Keep*Share
This item has been my best seller, hands down. Folks fall in love with them. It’s neat little prize to bring back home…So – what makes it special?
A Treasure Book is a small gift notebook.
• What makes it a treasure is the paper, the process and the love I put into each one.
• Most of the outer papers are folded pieces of hand printed lokta paper – made from the bark of a Himalayan plant. Other handmade art papers are also used – every one is a bit different.
• Between the thickness of the paper, the toughness of the natural fibers and the amount of folded over paper – these are quite durable and will last a long time going in and out of a bag or purse.
• They come in 4 sizes, each with14 pages– Large, Medium, Small and Little Happy size (for $25, $20, $15 and $8)
I craft each Treasure Book by hand from beautiful art paper. I make the 15+ folds to create each outside portfolio. I cut pieces of artist quality drawing paper to create the inside “signature” by hand. I sew each one together on a pedal driven Singer Sewing Machine (built in 1900). And as a little happy-I add a personal note (on another beautiful piece of paper) about loving the chance to share awesome paper.
This is one of my most favorite creations. I get so excited when someone finds “just the right one” for themselves or someone they love. They are perfect for sketches, poems, lists and love notes.
