paperiaarre
Paperiaarre is Finnish for a paper treasure. I truly believe that any sheet of paper can be turned into a treasure. All it takes is a little skill and a lot of love.
I'm a master bookbinder and my business Paperiaarre specializes in hand stenciled coptic bound journals, but I also make jewelry out of paper, linen and leather. Linen is one of my favorite materials and now that I've rediscovered my love for sewing I've started making stenciled and gocco printed pencil cases and zippered pouches too.
In a way I think that my work isn't complete before someone writes in my book, wears my jewelry, fills my pouch with their own personal items. You can make it yours.
