Original 8.5x11" gouache painting featuring Daphne's rendering a pink peony, inspired by her trip to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, ME. The paper is handmade in San Francisco by woman-owned Shotwell Paper Mill in collaboration with Case for Making, an SF-based art supply store. This sheet is made from recycled cotton rags, and dyed with Case for Making's venetian red pigment, producing a pink paper.
From Shotwell Paper Mill's site: "We use traditional Western and Eastern papermaking techniques to produce sheets one at a time. Our paper is made from old rags, locally grown plant fibers, and/or other plant based textiles that are otherwise headed for the waste stream."
From Case for Making's site: "Since Shotwell Paper Mill's products are made in small batches from recycled materials, every run of paper has a unique history! Pam made our white cotton rag from old t-shirts, which were, in her words, "never put out in stores because they were unsellable . . . like shirts that say San Leandro Turkey Trot 2012." The pink papers are also cotton rag, created with paper scraps (acid and lignin free!) from the Stanford Hoover Institute's oversized document files."
