Calypso
5.625 x 8.75”
The journal cover is created with heavy kozo, or mulberry, paper that comes from the rapidly growing mulberry tree in Thailand. Kozo fibers are strong and durable, and these papers have been hand-marbled in vibrant hues.
Hand-marbling is a process whereby the surface of a sheet of paper is dipped into a tray of water that holds various colors of dyes or paints on its surface. These colors are swirled with a stick to create one-of-a-kind patterns, and these colors are easily taken up by the paper.
Crush paper pages are slightly textured and off-white, and are made with by-products that would normally head for the landfill, i..e citrus fruits, corn, olives, coffee, etc. along with 30% post-consumer recycled waste. The paper is made using 100% green energy, and the company claims to reduce the carbon footprint by 20%.
I hand-bind the journals with the Coptic stitch.
