The Oakmother catalog reflects my lifelong interest in the special relationship we have with plants. Herbs have healing medicinal properties, but they have long been used spiritually as well. Both uses are reflected in the papers of intent.
Several years ago I began an experiment making paper using herbs I inherited from the pharmacy of a gifted healer. Starting with the same pulp, I added a different herb to each batch, and the results intrigued me. The papers reflected the qualities of the herbs included - texture, color, and intensity were different from plant to plant. The artwork and handmade papers included here are a result of my continued explorations into papermaking process, and plant lore.
