Twisted Limb Paperworks products are handmade and 100% recycled from Post Consumer Waste (PCW). Our papers are crafted here, in our studio,
in the heartland of the USA, using some combination of recycled office paper, junk mail, grocery bags, and even cardboard boxes. No dyes are
used to tint the paper. Colors are obtained directly from the materials being recycled.
We offer two styles of paper—paper embellished with ferns, flowers, and raffia flecks, or paper embedded with grass cuttings from our field. We are starting to organically grow and to ethically harvest from our woods more and more of the ferns going into our papers as well. Twisted Limb is carbon neutral! 100% of the carbon dioxide created by running our facility, shipping, employee commuting and business travel is offset with renewable energy investments through Native Energy. Water used in the paper making process is recycled from our studio's dehumidifiers and air conditioner whenever possible to conserve this essential resource. We donate 22% of our profits as cash and in-kind contributions to environmental conservation efforts and community groups each year. Twisted Limb Paperworks will add a natural, but unique and colorful touch to your wedding celebration, commitment ceremony, anniversary, birth, bat/bar mitzvah, business event, graduation or milestone birthday. We can create any combination of coordinating colors for your wedding invitations, business announcements, corporate holiday cards, thank-you notes, programs, guest books, place cards, menus and favors. Prices vary so that if you want to save time, you can have Twisted Limb Paperworks take care of everything from beginning to end. If you want to save money, you can do some of the work or assembling of products yourselves. We also create paper, stationery and bookmarks for school and non-profit fundraising.
The name Twisted Limb is a bit unusual for a paper and invitation company, and people like to ask about its origins. Some time back around
the mid 1990’s, Sheryl Woodhouse-Keese, our founder, was working as a state park naturalist, and her husband, Brian, our part-time webmaster
and operations guy, was making some very creative rustic chairs out of sticks. He was considering selling his work, and Sheryl came up with
the name Twisted Limb for his furniture. He decided not to turn his hobby into a business, and a couple of years later when Sheryl decided
to pursue this recycled paper making studio, she asked for the name back. Not only did we get the name, but Brian designed the awesome
twisted logo that we are still using today. We can tell you that Twisted Limb relates to the studio’s interest in protecting trees through
our strict recycling standards, or that “twisted” reflects our non-traditional approach to papermaking and invitations. All this is true!
However, choosing the name Twisted Limb mostly had to do with just plain liking it. We hope that you like our name too, as well as the
fine handcrafted and eco-friendly products that it has come to represent.
