the carmen cards

carmen brought me new cards, i mean with patterns we haven't had before. she buys the sheets with handprinted paper directly in japan and then she and her sister busy themselves with cutting, glueing... precision work.

i could look at these prints for a long long time, there are so many beautiful details, shapes and colour juxtapositions... and the velvety texture. japanese refinement at its best.

there are plenty of new patterns but i'll wait to show you some more because they're quite christmassy with delicate gold and silver in it. anti-dote to kitsch, i promise! keep posted.

but if you want to enjoy the full choice, come soon and ask me for the extra box.
