Italian Vintage Prints
Cavallini papers feature reproductions of vintage artwork sourced from archives around the world, and evoke a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance.
Made from high-quality archival paper stock, ensuring durability and longevity, making them suitable for various artistic and decorative applications.
These prints are works of art in themselves, collector’s items sought after and framed. I love to acquire them to fold and tear into signature pages so that you can enjoy their beauty and uniqueness in each Storyteller!
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!
Natural Raw Leather
The Butterfly Storyteller is bound into thick and glove-like orange natural leather that is both elegant and rustic.
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.
