Life moves like water—shifting, carving new paths, shaping the landscape of our days. The Riverbed Storyteller is a tribute to this flow, a journal for those who embrace the journey and find beauty along the way.
Adorned with the mesmerizing marbled designs of Jemma Lewis, its swirling patterns echo the movement of water over stone—sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful, always transforming. Inside, exquisite handmade lokta and natural inclusion papers offer a rich, textured canvas for your words, sketches, and reflections. Bound in deep chocolate-hued leather and tied with flowing sari silks, it is a reminder that beauty is not just something we seek—it is always around us, waiting to be noticed.
A Storyteller for seekers, dreamers, and those who find inspiration in the rhythm of nature. Like the soothing sound of water flowing over stones, the Riverbed Storyteller invites calm and reflection, carrying thoughts with quiet strength and timeless grace.

Handmade and Decorative Paper
The Riverbed Storyteller is filled with small batch printed marbled papers that have amazing beauty, elegance, and detail, along with handmade batik and lokta papers. The marbled paper is a beautiful Jemma Lewis Marbling design, printed on 100 gsm Munken base paper ~ a high quality, uncoated fine paper made by Arctic Paper, a European paper mill known for its commitment to sustainability and premium craftsmanship.
Lokta paper from Nepal is one of the primary papers used in Hypatia Storytellers. Lokta is produced using bark from the daphne shrub, a cousin to the laurel and the rhododendron. Lokta is very eco-friendly, as the plant regenerates quickly and is one of the few under-utilized plant resources in the world. Each lokta sheet is made by hand and celebrates its “wabi sabi” beauty. Delightful to write, paint and glue on, it is incredibly strong and flexible.
All of the handmade pages of the Hypatia Storytellers can also be used, in addition to the archival plain page soft white paper in between each decorative sheet!
Natural Raw Leather
Natural raw leather full of character with an aged, rustic, one-of-a-kind look and distinctive pull-up.
Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften, and develop color variations.
Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.
When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.
