handmade papers
we produce 100% recycled cotton sheets of paper by hand at our urban paper mill in portland, oregon. soft deckled edges are formed as each sheet is drawn from a vat of water and pulp. due to the natural, handmade quality, paper may vary slightly in thickness, color, and texture. our paper is strong, acid-free and produced with remnants from the garment industry.
deckled, cut edges, or rounded corners can be substituted on most designs (may affect pricing).
