Handmade in Minnesota by Bridget O'Malley and Amanda Degener of flax, hemp and cotton. These are certainly some of the finest and most beautiful papers available today. The sheets are gelatin sized and loft dried, which results in papers that are exceptionally strong and have an amazing crispness. In addition to the natural colorations of the fibers used, some of the sheets have also been hand-dyed which results in remarkable warmth and depth of tonality.
All the sheets are made on an 18" x 24" mould. However, the size of the finished sheets will vary due to the extreme shrinkage of the flax fibers during loft drying. All papers have four deckles, 200 gsm and are archival. (The Walnut dyed and tow flax sheets may contain matter which does not meet with Library of Congress standards).
