Poets, crafters and creatives know that sometimes it's a tactile or visual element of a piece that allows it to transcend from ink slapped onto a page into a work or art that entices all of the readers senses. Big box craft stores have ground down the smaller paper and stationary shops that fed the demand for the discerning consumer and ultimately whittled down the production of the more interesting and niche paper stocks.

If you're not familiar with "Onion Skin" paper, it was used heavily between the early 1900's into the late 1980's when typewriters gave way to computer printers. During it's time in the sun it found it's home in mediums such as typing, cell animation, calligraphy and even more specified applications like lightening the weight of airmail parcels. Lightweight and translucent in nature, Onion Skin paper has found a new life thanks to hobbies like origami, crafting, model trains and the resurgence of typing on typewriters again.

Each pack contains 10 pcs of genuine, vintage new-old stock onion skin paper sized 4.25" x 5.5" and comes wrapped in a hand folded, glossy page repurposed from a damaged vintage art book.

Bland seasonings make for bland soup, so don't try to fight the sudden urge to procure as much of this now-extinct paper stock as possible.

My precious friend @curious.goods sent me a Christmas/birthday present - two of her handmade journals! I’ve always loved her hand-bound books and these are amazing: a sketchbook covered with Davao paper and this gorgeous onionskin journal with paste paper. It’s amazing with fountain pens and I’ve been loving how the transparency changes the effect of my art and writing as I go deeper in. I made stickers of my own art to go with my washi sticker collection and scrap papers and they all look great in this journal! #journal #journalinspiration #handmadebook #curiousgoods #bookbinding #journaling #artjournal #artjournaling #sketchbook #collageart #journalstickers #washistickers #onionskin #onionskinjournal #onionskinpaper https://www.instagram.com/p/CXqw10Nugru/?utm_medium=tumblr
