"NEW!" Carta Varese Florentine Paper- Pink Flowers on Green 19x27 Inch Sheet
The Italian Carta Varese is one of the most traditional European
“fantasy-papers”. Its roots go back to original Rennaissance patterns
used as decoration of chests, cradles, or combs. Carta Varese papers
have been manufactured since the 17th century in Veneto becoming famous
for their variety of colors and small-patterned motifs. In former times
they were all hand-printed by means of a wooden printing block,
bringing a mixture of tempera, dextrin and starch on the base paper. The
block had to be pressed several times on a sheet in order to cover the
format, but a typical blank edge on one side remained. Around the end of
the 19th century lithography was introduced and by the mid 20th century
the production changed to offset-printing, making the papers available
to many more customers.
The printing
process of Carta Varese is elaborate. The two-way and multi-colored
papers are printed in a single-colour machine. Every color is printed
separately, so the paper sheets run through the machine several times, a
method reminiscent of silk-screen printing. This is the reason why the
colors of Carta Varese are so bright and dense even though it is an
offset print.
Carta Varese is not only beautiful but
also substantial. The base paper is a
100 g/qm ivory paper, uncoated and acid free.

Japanese Chiyogami Paper - Pink, Red, White Flowers with Green Leaves on Pink
These wonderfully decorative patterns on paper, known as Chiyogami, are silkscreened onto machine made sheets of mixed kozo and sulphite. They are more popularly known as Yuzen in the United States.
Originally, Chiyogami designs were developed in the Edo period as woodblock prints by papermakers during the farming season for use as accessories in the house to enliven the interiors. They were based on the bright kimono textiles which the papermakers from the countryside saw on the fashionable wealthier ladies in the larger cities, especially in Kyoto, where the area known as Yuzen had become famous for its sophisticated techniques for dyeing cloth.
Chiyogami was meant to be cut into pieces and made into paper dolls or pasted on tea tins or small paper boxes; still today the scale of the patterns is reminiscent of these early uses. And still many of the symbols depicted hearken back to auspicious occasions when fancy kimonos would be worn: cranes for long life; bamboo for flexibility; plum blossoms and pine boughs for beauty and longevity.
