Books, Journals, Papercuts, Stationery- A Forest of Things!
Since 2010, Reut Dominits has created hundreds of handcrafted products, from hand-sewn, hand-bound books to hand-printed, hand-cut papercutting art pieces. Her love for these old traditions opened doors to this wonderful world of handicrafts (such as embroidery, weaving, knitting, rug hooking, embossing, letterpress printing, watercolors and gouache painting, stamp curving and more).
Forest of Things is a unique project that combines Reut’s love for handicrafts and her life-long love for nature and slow living. In her Youtube channel, Reut shares her journey with the viewers, of how to live life more intentionally; On her Instagram, she shows glimpses of her life as an artist and a nature lover. On her blogs, she shares stories of her life alongside detailed tutorials about bookbinding, weaving and memory keeping.
In the shop, Reut’s art comes to life through papers, poems, original photographs, quotes and woodland creatures. Her bookbinding methods are more than an old tradition created in a modern twist; Guided by the love for reading, journaling and exploring the nature surrounding us, Reut creates Forest Books that give their new owners the opportunity to create the most interesting experience, by filling up pages, adding photographs, memories and different textures and keeping the stories of life alive and archived, for many years to come.
Reut makes these commonplace books in small batches (5-10 at the time) from her home studio near Tel Aviv, Israel. To achieve the most unique look and feel, all her books are handmade from scratch. To each book, a wonderful handmade kit is added (for FREE!) to assure the book’s new owner will have the most unique experience of making their own commonplace book, filled with stories to last a lifetime.
Forest of Things commonplace books are constructed from handmade papers, high quality threads and acid free, lignin free adhesives. Materials used in each Forest Books are made of HIGH QUALITY, to ensure your book will pass from one generation to another.
Another category in the shop is Papercutting Art; Custom-made papercutting (100% handmade!) pieces, showing the profile faces of your loved ones, with or without a paper wreath. In addition, Initials in both English and Hebrew are offer in all the letters, for you decorate your baby’s nursery, all handmade with love and appreciation.
To make the experience of nature whole, in the near future, the inventory of the shop will be added with some new, unique products, such as : embroidery hoops (kits and made to order), handwoven wall hangings and punch needle hoops in the traditional technique of rug hooking. All items will be themed in the beautiful world of nature.
Hope you will enjoy your visit and find something that you love.
