The Giving Tree


What about paper?

First comes the pen, then the ink, and then the paper. As much as I have collected pens, fountain pens, calligraphy pens, gell pens, ballpoint pens and pencils, I have also collected paper.

I remember stroking paper the way some people stroke silk or satin. Some papers have the nicest feel, the sweetest smell and are amazingly beautiful in their sheen, touch and surface.

Now with the continued dimuition of natural resources, trees among them, some are coming up with alternatve sources like polypaper.

Eureka has some very interesting journals and laboratory books on their website.

I haven't tried them, but perhaps my outdoors woman daughter would like one of these!
