Give a rose of a different type!

This rose is made from handmade recycled paper and tipped with acrylic paint. This box is about the size of an index card box. (See a different view at the right.)

Attention to detail and quality craftsmanship can be seen in this close-up of a Nature Loft Art box. These boxes are beautiful inside and out. The paisley design is carried throughout the piece on the swirl cut-out designs, and the felt lining, which also has an embossed paisley design. (Outside of the box shown at right.) Notice the paisley fabric is visible through the cut-outs, as well as the inside lid. The details make this box a work of art!

Nature Loft Art has sand paintings with artfully hand painted designs. The butterfly box below is a colorful example of the creative items available in the studio!

Close up view of a medium size box with a Thunderbird theme. A variety of handmade papers are used to create this box. The base is made of handmade recycled paper, and handmade corn husk paper is featured on the decoration on top of this piece. (See below for a link to the blog about how the recycled paper was made.)

This rose is made of handmade recycled paper with handmade corn husk paper leaves. The background paper is handmade recycled paper stained with natural tea and containing flecks of maroon. The box is decorated with real dried rose leaves from the home garden. The closure is made with leather cord and a plastic bead that looks like embossed copper.

This sand painted box has a wooden base, and is covered with colored natural sand. The hand painted design shows the beginning of this butterfly's life as a cocoon, nestled in curly, green leaves, with colorful flowers sheltering it from above.

This box is rich with details that make it special! The outside is black sand, hand painted with pink and peach daisies, matching the gradated sand on the lid, which goes from peach to white, to pink sand.

Want something unique and romantic? Check out the sand painting below, which can be personalized with your names. Beach lovers love this!

It'll give you a warm, fuzzy feeling!

The top of the box slides open to reveal a "secret" compartment lined with faux suede fabric, and just big enough for a few rings or earrings – the perfect place to "hide" your engagement ring for her! This can symbolize the beginning of your evolving relationship!

No detail is forgotten here – even the pads on the bottom have significance. A flutter of pink and mint green felt butterflies protect any "landing" surface from scratches!

How My Handmade Paper is Made

"There are many things you can do with handmade paper. You are only limited by your imagination. It takes some practice to get skillful at forming and couching the sheets, and learning what types and quantities of chemicals are needed for processing. It is also a time consuming process, but it is gratifying to continue an age-old art of paper making and follow in the footsteps of artisans that preceded us." More information available soon in my blog. The new blog is under construction. Sorry to cause inconvenience!
