Paper Porn :: A New K. Batty Column

{From Mrs. John L Strong Fine Stationery :: Buddha note cards}

Clearly, as I am a stationery maker, I LOVE paper. It's texture. It's weight...all the colors...Paper is to designers like me what horsepower & Ferrari posters are to a gear head...porn.

Am I exaggerating? Well, yes, a little. But I have your attention, don't I? {muahahahahahaha...}

Welcome to a new column here at K. Batty - Paper Porn. A column about amazing stationery, paper products, accessories and all things personalized. Those of you who have read this blog for a while will remember my Cards of the Week posts. This will be similar, but will focus more on high-end, high-design...probably custom...extravagant pieces rather than every day stationery. That doesn't mean the pieces featured will be expensive, just quality goods that elevate our every day experience!
