Twisted Limb Paperworks, founded in 1998, is a carbon-neutral production art studio nestled in the wooded countryside of South Central Indiana. Here, a staff of 5-7 artists sustainably creates our colorful handmade 100% recycled paper using old colored office paper and grocery bags, recycled water, and inclusions of flowers, wildflower seeds, grass from our field and ferns from our woods.

We creatively assemble our handmade papers into recycled wedding invitations, business promotional items, holiday greeting cards, birth announcements, shower invitations, thank-you notes, programs, guest books, place cards, menus, and favors for celebrations that are gentle on the earth. Our products have been used for green wedding celebrations, commitment ceremonies, anniversaries, births, bat/bar mitzvahs, business events, fundraisers, award dinners, meetings, graduations, and milestone birthdays. In addition, it is our mission to provide friendly, down-to-earth customer service and to create art that is accessible! All of our invitation and stationery designs have do-it-yourself kit and you-assemble options to accommodate both a range of budgets as well as your interest in participating in the creative process.

With fresh and remnant papers from our custom work, we create scrapbooking and art papers, stationery, and bookmarks for school and non-profit fundraising.

In 2009 we created a new line of memorial stationery which includes memento bookmarks, thank-you notes, guest registers and memorial service invitations and programs under the brand Remembrance Tree Papers. We plant a tree in remembrance of the deceased for each memorial order.

About our name:

The name Twisted Limb is a bit unusual for a paper and invitation company, and people like to ask about its origins. Some time back around the mid 1990's, Sheryl Woodhouse-Keese, our founder, was working as a state park naturalist, and her husband, Brian, our part-time webmaster and operations guy, was making some very creative rustic chairs out of sticks. He was considering selling his work, and Sheryl came up with the name Twisted Limb for his furniture. He decided not to turn his hobby into a business, and a couple of years later when Sheryl decided to pursue this recycled paper making studio, she asked for the name back. Not only did we get the name, but Brian designed the awesome twisted logo that we are still using today. We can tell you that Twisted Limb relates to the studio's interest in protecting trees through our strict recycling standards, or that "twisted" reflects our non-traditional approach to papermaking and invitations. All this is true! However, choosing the name Twisted Limb mostly had to do with just plain liking it. We hope that you like our name too, as well as the fine handcrafted and eco-friendly products that it has come to represent.
