Let calmness lead the way.
Some colors feel like medicine. The flowing patterns of this Thai marbled paper - periwinkle blues and teal greens - echo the serenity of Bahamian clear waters and the grounding energy of chrysocolla stone. It’s a palette that instantly soothes and uplifts, gently nudging the nervous system toward peace.
Chrysocolla, the stone that inspired this journal’s name, is known as a stone of communication, wisdom, and deep inner calm. It invites expression from the heart, dissolves fear and anxiety, and encourages emotional balance. Like its namesake, this journal is a space of peaceful clarity - ideal for slow writing, inner listening, and creative release.
Bound in natural turquoise leather, with ripple marks like water meeting shore.
This Storyteller is a breath of peace, a journal for restoring the spirit and letting beauty do its quiet work.

Thai Marble Chrysocolla
Immense, flowing patterns echoing river currents and ocean shallows swirl across this Thai marbled paper, hand-crafted in watercolor tones of periwinkle blues and teal-blue greens. Inspired by the chrysocolla stone – known for its calming, restorative energy – each sheet invites exhale and ease. Occasional marbling “imperfections” are part of the charm, reminders that nature, like creativity, thrives in variation. No two are exactly alike, and that is their beauty.
Handmade Lokta Paper
Beautiful handmade lokta paper from Nepal is one of the primary papers used in Hypatia Storytellers.
Lokta is produced using bark from the daphne shrub, a cousin to the laurel and the rhododendron. Lokta is very eco-friendly, as the plant regenerates quickly and is one of the few under-utilized plant resources in the world.
Each lokta sheet is made by hand and celebrates its “wabi sabi” beauty. Delightful to write, paint, and glue on, it is incredibly strong and flexible. All of the handmade pages of the Hypatia Storytellers can also be used, in addition to the archival plain page soft white paper in between each decorative sheet!
