A considered collection of original suminagashi art and artist-made stationery, gathered together in one presentation box.
The Signature Gift Collection brings together six small notecards, six large notecards, six bookmarks, six gift tags, and an original 3 × 8 in. suminagashi artwork with a bamboo stand for display. A Blackwing pencil completes the collection.
Suminagashi, or “floating ink,” is the traditional Japanese art of floating ink on water and setting onto paper a fluid design formed on the water’s surface. Each piece is created individually by hand in the Hudson Valley using water drawn from the Esopus Creek. No two patterns are alike.
The notecards feature original suminagashi mounted on Fabriano Medioevalis, fine Italian mould-made stationery with softly deckled edges, and are paired with matching envelopes. The bookmarks are backed with Fabriano cardstock and finished with handmade tassels made with GOTS-certified string.
The Signature Gift Collection includes:
‣ Six small notecards with envelopes · 3⅜ × 5¼ in.
‣ Six large notecards with envelopes · 4½ × 6¾ in.
‣ Six original bookmarks with tassels · 1½ × 8 in.
‣ Six gift tags
‣ One original suminagashi artwork · 3 × 8 in.
‣ One bamboo display stand
‣ One Blackwing pencil
The collection is presented in a kraft gift box nestled in shredded wildflower-seed paper, which can be scattered over soil and given a second life in the garden. An enclosed card introduces the art of suminagashi and explains how the wildflower-seed packaging can be given a second life in bloom.
Each Signature Gift Collection is individually assembled. Suminagashi patterns vary, making every collection unique.
