About Us, the Designs and the Process

Ready for framing!... Our handmade collage cards, gifts and ornaments are intricate in design, rich in texture and intimate detail and... made in America! (No lead was used in the production of these greeting cards and accessories. Sorry, we just couldn't resist.)

The core of each piece is using the art of collage with different elements and finished, all on paper. Although delicate in appearance, the process for creating each piece involves strong materials and adherents for stability and permanence.

We use hand-painted papers, exotic imported papers from Europe and Asia, natural fibers, dried flowers, silk, gold and silver leaf, bamboo, ribbon, satin, Cloisonne and jewelry findings combined with a complex collage inclusion for a deep, 3-dimensional final result.

Lush, intricate in detail and rich in texture, ready for framing… therefore satisfying both the greeting and the gift in one elegant presentation. Due to the unique nature of these elements some paper patterns and designs will evolve and change but the quality, materials and artistic integrity stays the same.
