Rag & Bone Bindery - was such an amazing discovery while I was at the National Stationery Show in NYC! I saw so many new products and ideas at the show, however the trend that I found most intriguing, impactful and fresh was that of recycling paper scraps into beautiful objects of art. I had seen the emergence of this trend at last year's show, but Jason Thompson, Founder and President, of Rag & Bone Bindery brought this trend to life for me! He was most gracious with his time at the show and eager to share his his expertise with me. He informed me of his soon to be published book, Playing With Paper and recommended I learn more about “Kusudama” the art of constructing paper balls. As a beginner I began to due my own research on this topic and I came across this video which I think is most instructive:

Jason certainly enlightened me to the world of using paper scraps, and Rag & Bone Bindery is such the perfect place to start to enjoy the art of paper - I encourage you to visit their website. Whether you are looking for address books, journals, brag books or photo albums, the beautiful paper handiwork is sure to please!
