What is it that makes vintage photos so inherently beautiful? It may very well be that they’ve been loved for so many years. And while we’d like to wait around to watch our photos get lovelier and lovelier by the year, it’d take forevs. That’s why we dug our pal Helen Stead‘s idea so much! She prints photos on mulberry paper, a translucent paper made from the bark of mulberry trees. It’s the paper’s fabric-like texture that turns your normally crisp digital photos into stunningly soft, muted visions of yesteryear. Thanks, mulberry paper, for saving us the 50 year waiting period. Make Vintage Style Prints with Mulberry Paper p.s. We’re hiring a full-time buyer (a.ka. a treasure hunter!) to join our team in San Francisco. Could it be you? |
