Each bag of 8½ x 11 sheets is, as I like to say, one-of-a-find. I purchased these exquisite papers at Aiko’s back in the ’80s and ’90s (the First Zaki Dynasty). The assortment (no dupes) is a binder’s dozen of 13 sheets: some solids, some simple patterns, including one sheet of sumptuous silver and one of gorgeous gold. Bonbonus: a glassine almost overflowing with useable scraps, ideal for sweet & discreet enclosures and for collage.

Nota bene: These sheets come in xoxtremely handy with “MORE Art of the Handmade Envelope.”
