Paper View

April 2008 | by Shelley Kaczkowski

The organic texture, natural scent, and luxurious appearance of handmade paper makes everyday occasions more pleasurable. Whether you are sending out invitations or scrapbooking, the look and feel of plant and wood fibers woven together individually will transport you back to a time when the world did not revolve around emails and text messages. Broadway Paper, 191 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, offers specialty paper that is handcrafted using materials such as clovers, wildflower seeds and ferns that burst with gorgeous colors like Pomegranate and Walnut. A box of paper created from mulberry, bark fibers and pressed with mango leaves is a delightful gift for your mother or best friend, and striking prints from India, Japan or Nepal are exotic templates for love letters. Bright paper, like traditional silkscreened sheets, or heavy cardstock with patterns that pop, can be used for bookbinding or lampshades, while delicate papyrus blends are ideal for meaningful handwritten letters or journal pages.
