We are pleased to announce that Papermakers of Victoria have available for tender
a wonderful Aussie Plant Fibre book which is part of a limited edition of eighteen.

This book incorporates twelve different Australian plant fibre papers.
It also includes information about the plants and how the paper was made,
printed onto handmade Australian eucalyptus paper.
The white text paper has been made using Australian grown eucalyptus blend pulp.

These papers were created using the historic equipment employed by Kayes and Sonja van Bodegraven
(Mould and Deckle Mill) during a major commission of 15,000 hand made sheets
for the Crafts Council of Australia's publication
' Crafts of Australia'- first World Crafts Exhibition - 1974 Toronto, Canada.
It was thought appropriate that the still attached watermarks of a kangaroo
designed by award winning graphic designer, Douglas Annand, be retained
to commemorate the ongoing commitment to, and growth of,
the art and craft of hand made paper making in Australia since that time.

The book features a spine of Australian timber and a unique binding that
has been specially designed for this book by Gail Stiffe.

The slip case is decorated with images of Melbourne.

This beautiful book will be available to the successful bidder in an email tender process.

Both members and non members of Papermakers of Victoria will be eligible to tender.

The highest tender for the book will be the successful bid.

No correspondence will be entered into and the bids will not be disclosed.

Starting price: $150 All postage and packaging costs are to be met by the successful bidder.

Tenders are to be sent to enquiries@papermakers.org.au together with your name and contact details.

Closing date is Friday 27th November.
