Start with one piece

Ephemera gives a page something to answer to.

A scrap of French script, an old-fashioned label, a postcard, or a paper pocket can set the direction for a whole spread. I make these pieces for journal makers who prefer a good starting point to a stack of blank paper judging them from across the table.

Choose a printable when you want to cut, layer, and make your own composition. Choose a glassine bag when the page needs a pocket or a tucked-away note. Choose a folio when the pieces themselves are the collection.

Print and cut

Small paper details, ready to become part of the story.

Print what you need, keep the rest for another day, and let the page find its own order. No need to use every last scrap. That is how a craft room becomes a legal matter.

Tuck it away

Glassine pockets for the things a page should not give up.

Use them for tags, private notes, a found word, a pressed flower, or the small bits that look better when they are discovered rather than announced.

Keep the collection

Handmade folios for papers worth keeping together.

A folio is for the maker or collector who wants a place for the whole conversation: pockets, tags, cards, letters, photographs, and the odd little scrap that has somehow become important.

Made by hand

Folios that make room for a growing paper life.

Each one brings together pockets and paper layers, then leaves room for your own finds, memories, and changing ideas.

Inspiration for the Creative Soul

Begin with the one piece you would hate to lose.
