I love the sheer versatility of paper – creating the patterns and prints, embellishing with original motifs, and turning it into a dimensional product. New additions to the paperie at Natural Historie were inevitable. And at last they are here - the first in my new line of original tags.
Little Notes from the Studio:
1. It all starts in the sketchbook, my favorite of all little black books. I usually work in black ink for versatility. The pink floral pattern in the background of the Luster Tags started as a black and white drawing, so did the chandelier image (shown). The bird image in my Robin Egg Tags began as an ink and acrylic sketch.
2. Now technology takes a turn – just a little scanning, editing, layering, cropping, arranging, and color manipulation and viola! A finished digital tag.
3. Finally a printed sheet of tags is cut by hand, carefully punched with a mini hole punch and strung with soft twine. Natural Historie

You cut these by hand?! I was sure you got them cut from the printers, they're so accurate. You have a steady hand! Part of your perfectionism, is it?:)
