Paperblanks Blue Willow Pencils – Pack of 4

Bring artistry to every note with this pack of 4 Blue Willow pencils from Paperblanks, wrapped in stunning artwork from the Paperblanks design library.

The design reproduced here is taken from a panelled skirt known as a mamianqun, a garment worn by Han Chinese women in the traditional Hanfu dress style. Hanfu dates back more than three millennia to the Song and Liao dynasties, when it became popular due to both its functionality and its aesthetic style.

The Story Behind the Design

Reproduced here is Lindgren’s shorthand draft of a Pippi Longstocking story alongside illustrations of Pippi and her unmistakable house on a pink and mint green background. We are thrilled to bring Astrid Lindgren and her iconic story of Pippi Longstocking to our Embellished Manuscripts Collection.
