Partnering is important to us. With you & with our planet. 

Recycling and using reclaimed and FSC materials is a start, but we know it's not enough. We want to restore integrity to the way we live and take responsibility for the environmental impact of our choices. Though we are not fully where we want to be in terms of our carbon footprint of the company, we are taking steps every day, making choices that are sustainable for us and for generations to come.

reclaimed | upcycled wood

We work with local small businesses to source the reclaimed wood we use for all our wood pieces, including: storyblocks, story keepers, & card holders. 

Rather than varnishes that emit toxic VOC-off gassing, we finish all our pieces with natural beeswax paste to condition the raw wood. 

There is deep joy in working with incredibly beautiful wood from trees that are hundreds of years old... It's our responsibility to replenish what we benefit from, so each year, we make a donation to one tree planted, a non-profit dedicated to reforestation to around the world. 

art prints

Our prints are high end digital reproductions of Kai's original watercolors & the work we originally paint on wood. The papers we use are for fine art, which means: museum quality, 100% cotton fiber, acid-free, lignin-free, and optical brightener (OBA) free. 

cards

Our 4x6 flat cards for the yearly bird & brush desk calendar come to us already printed on paper that has met FSC Standards. The paper is extra thick, sustainably sourced, elemental chlorine free (ECF), made from all recycled fibers, & 100% of the electricity used to manufacture them is matched with Green-e certified wind energy. 

The tree free 5x7 greeting cards are printed to order at our studio. You can feel good about sending these because they are 25% hemp, 75% post consumer, 100% sustainable. 

ecobags

The sturdy sacks that accompany our card holders are made of 100% organic cotton & are entirely food safe. They are from Eco-Bags, a certified BCorporation & Woman-Owned Business. 

packaging

Our packaging is planet friendly - sourced mainly from Ecoenclose, a company dedicated to offering high quality packaging options that are as sustainable as possible.
