Duck egg blue handmade paper with black letterpress ink.
Handmade paper card with four full deckled edges, hand folded with inside blank. Front is letterpress printed; back is letterpress printed with a small note including information about the natural dyes used to color each unique piece of paper.
Comes with an acru A2 envelope and a small card matte printed with photos and a little information about our process.
Card reads "reflecting on the rest and quiet of the darker seasons, the roots reaching deep where no one can see while up here above ground it looks like nothing but loss, the hope of the almost imperceptibly small increases of light that grow into the full warmth of the summer sun winter solstice".
We create our paper goods with great care and love in our studio in Palo Cedro, California! Loren writes and creates each design, often using sketching and handwriting, and then pairs it with the perfect paper color. Our papermakers transform natural fibers into beautiful, plant-dyed, deckle-edged sheets, and our press team prints them one-at-a-time on our antique letterpresses and packages them up for you! Scroll down for more details about our artisan making process.
Our team carefully packs up your order and ships it via the method you choose at checkout. Orders ship within one to three business days.
Please email us at shipping@farmette.co if you need your order to arrive by a certain date, and we will do everything we can to accommodate.
