I have always had a fascination for translucent/tracing papers, probably because I have always loved beautiful colours and light working together…

I recently came across the family of paper Cromático, -ca.® by Thibierge & Comar, a French paper mill. They manufacture a collection of translucent papers in 15 shades and 8 weights with matching envelopes.  The collection includes, Extra White a white translucent paper, Transparent, a clear translucent stock and 13 beautiful colours.

On top of this, the stock is FSC certified, and apparently dries faster than other translucent papers…

Also available, TransWhite, a clear tracing paper in 8 different weights.

Thibierge & Comar also has 4 other collections, Evanescent (pearlescent papers), Dentelle (translucent papers with motifs), CANEVAS (herringbone pattern) and Nantucket (laid paper).

Those stocks are easily available in France and other continental Europe countries, but unfortunately for us in the UK, they do not have a distributor here. However, you can order directly from them and they will deliver straight to you, thanks to their very helpful team.
