To all book lovers! We present our light wood EARTH bookmark, a lovely and exclusive design from our Four Elements Collection. Handcrafted in Colombia on treated wood, it is adorned with the fascinating tamo technique. This ancestral art transforms the stalks of wheat and barley to veneer wood surfaces with highly detailed patterns. The process includes boiling, dyeing, drying, and flattening the stalks into fine sheets. These sheets are then cut into very thin, uniform strands, which are meticulously applied, one by one, onto the wood surface. It is a very fine technique that demands great patience, precision, and dedication. Our artisans have preserved this tradition for generations, keeping alive an art form typical of their department, Nariño, in southwestern Colombia, a place of great cultural richness ranging from handcrafts with various natural fibers to the vibrant "Carnaval de Negros y Blancos" (Black and White Carnival), recognized by UNESCO and celebrated every January.
Stay grounded in your story. Enjoy every chapter with the wisdom of the EARTH element.
