Jemma Lewis Hand Marbled Paper - Jemma Lewis is a skilled paper artist from the United Kingdom. We are very excited to offer these beautiful papers by Jemma. She uses acid free, 120gsm long-grain paper. Most of the papers that we have are cream (buttermilk) color, with the marbling done on one side. Finished papers measure approximately 18x24 inches. Our scans show one small section of each sheet, and most of the scans are reduced so that you can see the amazing amount of detail and intricacy in each pattern. Please note that these are unique, handmade works of art- we only have 2-4 sheets of each style, and each sheet will vary slightly. These are phenomenal for bookmaking, origami, and all paper arts.
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
