New papers at the store!!!

We've added some new additions to our Japanese Papers.  We now have Cave Paper,  It is called "Cave" Paper since the studio of the papermakers looks very much like a cave! These wonderful handmade papers have a rough elegance due the raw materials--flax, cotton rag, and natural dyes (indigo, walnut and persimmon).  These are the papers used in one of the August Workshops.

We also have a nice selection of Paste Papers from Claire Maziarczyk.  These papers are beautifully executed and their designs range from "Kapow! to very laid back and sensual.  They'll be great additions to your projects.

We will be adding more papers to our already wide selection as we continue to discover new and amazing papers being made both in Japan and throughout the world.  We hope to become your "Great Paper Destination!"
