A book that feels like it was gathered from tide and sky rather than made.

Mermaid’s Tale Storyteller brings together a striking collection of Japanese Chiyogami papers, the elegance and strength of Hahnemühle cotton rag, and the rich surface and colors of Fabriano Tiziano. Each paper carries its own character - patterned, textured, and quietly expressive - layered into a sequence that shifts like water catching light.

The palette moves through brilliant aqua and turquoise tones - clear, saturated blues that recall shallow ocean edges, wind-polished shallows, and the bright open hush of sky over water. Nothing muted here. Beauty, clarity and peace inviting you in to shape your own story.

The bright turquoise leather is natural, soft & supple, and elegant, wrapped in hand-dyed sari silks.

A collection of irresistible blues and exceptional papers for writing, drawing, and keeping your musings, memories, and unfolding stories.

This exceptional Japanese paper is made in a precise and laborious process of stenciling and resist dying based on traditional kimono-printing techniques using persimmon-dyed kozo as the stencils and a highly skillful process that produces striking beauty in long-lasting color and the unmistakable look of a print truly made by an adept hand.

The color, quality, and beauty of these papers always take my breath away! Complementing the Japanese Chiyogami paper is a curated selection of fine art papers - Hahnemühle Bugra and FabrianoTiziano, along with handmade Lokta and cotton rag papers - bringing inviting texture, depth, and tactile beauty to every page.

Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften, and develop color variations.
Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.
When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.
