Wheat | Suminagashi Notecard

A Study in Form & Texture

Handcrafted by CEDAR Y SAND in our East Hampton studio, Wheat captures the sculptural beauty of a familiar field form. Each notecard begins with hand-marbled Suminagashi paper—where ink drifts across water to create a one-of-a-kind composition of soft, flowing movement.

Layered atop this surface, individual paper elements are cut, shaped, and assembled by hand to form slender leaves and dimensional heads of wheat. Gentle sculpting lifts portions of the composition from the page, creating a subtle interplay of texture, shadow, and form.

A Composition of Wheat & Sand

Rendered in warm, tonal neutrals against a quiet Suminagashi ground, the design draws inspiration from wheat fields, dune grasses, and the softened palette of late summer. Fine paper details build each wheat head piece by piece, transforming a simple botanical form into a small study in craftsmanship.

While the composition remains true to the wheat form, each notecard is entirely unique—guided by the natural variation of the marbled background and the hand-cut, hand-sculpted placement of each element.

No two are ever exactly alike.

For Words Meant to Linger

Blank inside for your handwritten message and paired with a softly gray-toned envelope embossed with the CEDAR Y SAND insignia. Its understated palette makes Wheat suited to notes of gratitude, congratulations, encouragement, or simply staying connected.

Paper Botanicals

Part of Paper Botanicals, a series within the Suminagashi Springs collection exploring natural forms through cut and sculpted paper. Each design pairs individually constructed botanical subjects with original Suminagashi marbling—bringing traditional technique, observation, and dimensional paper artistry together in a notecard meant to be kept.
