a couple years ago on a trip to paris, i passed a paper shop that had these gorgeous sheets of handmade paper made from the thinnest slices of fruits and vegetables imaginable. they were so gorgeous and i really wanted to take some home with me, but sadly the shop was closed.
since then, i have been trying to find something similar with no luck. the other day, i finally found what i was looking for... the key was using the search term papyrus, something i never thought of before. here are my favorites, available from hiromi paper. wouldn't these just be perfect framed and displayed in a kitchen?
carrot
blood orange
cucumber
tomato

I love those! Are they plastered onto a paper backing or is the entire paper made of that particular vegetable?
the cucumber one has such a lovely colour and pattern
Whoa! That's wild! I love it.
the paper itself is made of slices of fruits and veggies... apparently it's an ancient technique. isn't that insane?
These are absolutely beautiful! Wow!!
oh my ,very cool
i've bought some of these before at a shop in santa monica!!! they are so fantastic! thanks for the reminder-- i'll have to get some more. :)
Those papers are so cool, have never seen anything like it before. Glad you finally found what you were looking for.
i will travel the lengths of the earth to buy you your carrot paper!
