Three corners of our packing room on another fine spring morning. We don’t just make and ship handmade paper, we also have a beautiful range of artist sketchbooks and pads, each in four colours: white, ivory, denim blue and khaki (the last two recycling textile offcuts from @community_clothing ). And more - all viewable in our online shop and at the finest retailers, more details on which to follow soon.

I’ve always loved a door in a door but how about a window and a door in a door? As enjoyed (very much) @mysticseaportmuseum

Papercut by Anna Maria Garthwaite dated 1707, made when was just 17. It is made from brown paper painted black, cut out and mounted on white vellum. Anna Maria went on to become one of the most talented silk designers of her generation working in London. Some of the trees in this cut-paper work resemble her watercolour textile designs of the 1720s. It is a work of exquisite beauty and sublime virtuosity, all the more appealing for its naive aesthetic and the purity of its making.

Wonderful painted walls in an abandoned Transylvanian schoolroom - the last picture to be edited for a project @parnaramarama and I have been working on over the last few years. More to be shared on this in the coming months! With huge thanks to @hautebohemiansmfv @martinamondadori @cabanamagazine for setting us on this journey in 2022. Wonderfully, since I shot this image this building has been restored for future generations to use and enjoy.
