hello!

​Welcome in my tiny paper world. I'm Ivanie. Thank you for passing by.

   Throughout my life, paper has been one of my most faithful companions. Whether as a medium for my first scribbles, a material for creating game worlds or a pretext for my illustrations, this material has always supported my creativity.

    I've always been told that I was born with a pencil in my hand. I used to draw so much that my family had to collect as many sheets of paper as possible from the garbage can. If all children wore out their pencils as much as I did, we'd save forests! The immaculate blank white sheet of paper fascinated me as much as it intimidated me: how could I avoid wasting it?

    This perfect, uneventful page was often the source of artistic blockages, while the reverse side of old sheets always ended up variegated. After all, draft paper can never really be wasted. As time went by, the garbage can was overflowing with valuable resources.

    This notion of reuse is at the origin of this project. If reworking waste has been a vector of creativity for me, revaluing the old today is a real challenge for our planet.

​Today, I'd like to share with you my creations made from recycled paper. I don't pretend to save anything, but creating without damaging the living beings around me is very important to me.

    All items are handmade using a maximum of natural products and manual techniques.

    For more information on my creations, follow me on Instagram, Facebook (and YouTube coming soon).
