Sweet, sentimental and whimsical is the work of London, England based artist Rob Ryan. His delightful paper cuttings are lovingly hand cut from single sheets of paper. They are lacy and delicate, absolutely gorgeous! His dedication to the art of paper cutting is mesmerizing. Rob Ryan’s finely detailed images are often used to tell precious love stories, like in his book ‘This is For You‘.
This is For You - Rob Ryan
‘This is For You‘ is a collection of more than 50 stunning paper cuts that tell the story of a man seeking love in his heart. ‘This is For You‘ can be found on the bookshelves of the Paper Place and has become a favourite to both staff and patrons.

One of our favourite customers Michelle Molligan, from Social Butterfly, an invitation design company, was in the store showing us some of her lovely watercolours. We think they’re amazing, her colour sense is terrific and we wanted to show her work.
4 x 14" Rectangle Piece
12" Circle Piece
Michelle has done these watercolours on St. Armand Papers. We carry these papers in an assortment of sizes, colours and decorative textures. St. Armand (Montreal) beats their own pulp using mostly cotton from clothing manufacturers’ off cuts. Linen, flax straw and jute are also used in their papers. The pulp is internally sized so that the paper will not act as a blotter. These papers are a weight of 150 lb and are acid free. They’re great for printmaking, bookbinding, painting and watercolour. Scoring, embossing, die cutting and foil stamping also work well.
