These pulp painted cards are handmade by first making a sheet of cream colored hemp and cotton paper and then using squirt bottles full of finely beaten colorful cotton pulp to make the iris design which is integrated into the paper itself. The yellow ochre envelopes are handmade from recycled cotton and flax. The materials are cut to pieces and beaten to a pulp in a Hollander beater. The pulp is added to a vat of water where the fibers are scooped up with a flat sieve called a mold and deckle. The wet pages are stacked, pressed, and left to dry before folding, gluing and packaging. Each sheet is unique and crafted from scratch to give your written message qualities which are entirely absent in a machine made card.
Size: A2 ( 4.125”× 5.25” when folded)
Surface: Gelatin sized and calendared for use with fountain pens and any media
