This handmade paper comes from India. Bodhi leaves are printed in gold on top of the topaz blue paper. The variations in texture and color make each book a one of a kind. We match the cover with a black silk textured binding cloth and a golden metallic trim for a look that surely draws attention.
We make every book to order, by hand in our studio. We bind the books in a traditional binding and we sew our book blocks by hand, with needle and Irish linen thread so the book will stay flat when open.
