Botanical craft in detail

Every bookmark begins with wild botanicals gathered across Oregon valleys, pressed between weighted cedar boards, and hand-bound with twisted cotton cord.

Seasonal Foraging

Two-Week Pressing

Botanical Sealing

Cord Knotting

We clip hardy ferns, wild yarrow, and miniature pansies at dawn when plant moisture balances naturally for clean drying.

Specimens rest inside weighted botanical presses lined with archival rag paper until each petal yields moisture without losing color.

Dried flora are positioned across deckle-edge cotton rag and sealed beneath a feather-light protective beeswax glaze.

Spun cotton threads are braided and knotted by hand, finished with a tailored tassel to rest against hardcover spines.

Paper Studies

Markers in print

Macro tabletop studies documenting natural cotton fibers, hand-torn edges, and botanical specimens holding places inside vintage and modern editions.
