Moonshine Papers, handmade in a bathtub. A self-initiated project in handmade paper and stationery products. I used my roommate’s bathtub to create the paper sluice, thus the name “Moonshine Papers”, keeping substrate pulp in lidded buckets in my back garden. I wanted the logo to reflect a very ground-up approach, but also to have lasting usability. I went with my own cursive and bathtub doodle, plus a star as the counter of the i to reiterate cheeky nighttime feel. The bathtub changes colour according to the product.
