Wings in the Garden Chiyogami Paper

Bright birds and butterflies move through sprays of pink blossoms, airy white flowers, leafy stems, and star-like blooms across a warm cream ground. Turquoise, coral, lavender, green, and golden yellow give the pattern a joyful, sunlit character, while the open spacing allows each motif to remain distinct. Hand-printed in Japan using a traditional silk-screen process, this decorative paper is beautifully suited to bookbinding, journal covers, keepsake boxes, endpapers, collage, framing, card details, origami, and paper arts that call for color, movement, and a touch of whimsy.

From the Atelier: We selected this paper for its lightness and sense of discovery. A bird, butterfly, flower, or trailing stem appears in every small section, making the pattern especially rewarding for projects that use only part of the sheet. The cream ground keeps the lively colors graceful, while the winged motifs bring a feeling of freedom and summer movement. It is a delightful choice for journals, boxes, and handmade gifts intended to feel cheerful, imaginative, and full of life.
