The Very First Fabulous Giveaway!
The very first giveaway at A Life More Fabulous comes from one of my very favourite shops in Toronto - The Paper Place, a paper boutique that specializes in Japanese hand silkscreened paper. Each sheet is handcrafted with several layers of individual patterns that combine to form the most beautiful, intricate patterns.
One of my favourite things in the world is beautiful stationery and notebooks. This lovely thick notepad is covered with beautiful Katazome-shi paper.
Using traditional kimono-printing techniques, these elegant bold patterned papers were developed in Kyoto during the 20th century by an inspired soul. Using persimmon-dyed kozo as the stencils, and aided by paste and "Kojiro" (soy bean juice), the pigments absorb deeply into the paper to produce long-lasting colour and the unmistakable look of a print truly made by hand.
The lovely floral pattern is peony pink and scarlet, it would be the perfect place to journal lovely thoughts, finds and sketches of the summer...
To enter, just leave a comment below... and be sure to visit The Paper Place to see more of
their exquisite paper designs, let me know which is your favourite!
A winner will be randomly selected on Monday June 22, 2009 and announced here.
If you do not have a blog or a contact email on your blog, please include it in your comment.
{bonne chance!/good luck!}
