A set of ten cards, with envelopes.
Each folding card is 4x6 inches, crafted from hand made paper which is dyed cranberry-- on front and back. Silk Screened on the front, in gold, is a sketch of "Flying Horses". The inside of the card is a fine unbleached, hand made white paper-- suitable for inscribing your personal note.The back is plain, without design. The card is luxuriously thick, because its hand made from two sheets of paper.
The silk screen design on the front of this card was inspired by a wooden balustrade we found in Oak Bluff, on Martha's Vineyard. That wooden balustrade pattern was in turn inspired by the wooden horses of America's oldest operating platform carousel, in Oak Bluff-- it first began to delight children in 1876.
The inside of the card is a fine unbleached, hand made white paper-- suitable for inscribing your personal note.
The card opens vertically, from the bottom. A crisp and thick handmade paper envelope is included for each card.
The fine handmade paper in the card and envelope is made using 80% sustainably harvested Himalayan Lokta bark, and 20% post consumer-use, recycled paper. This traditional Lokta paper is often called "Rice Paper" in the west, but has never been made from rice stalks.
This price is for a set of ten cards with envelopes, packed in a cellophane envelope.
