More Info
This book was to proposed to have a traditional Japanese theme with paper designs that reflected this ancient art form. With the connection to mindfulness, I felt a nature theme would offer a unique point of difference. After presenting mockups of cranes made from photographic leaf papers it was agreed to change the direction of the book and include rocks, wood grain, paua shells, flax weaving, sky and sea closeups. The back section offered a range of tear out papers for the reader to use including illustrated patterns to colour-in.
