“mi nombre es patricia y soy salteña, aunque vivo en montevideo con mi esposo, nuestra hija maría y nuestros dos adorables perros, poro, un ovejero alemán y pepa, toda una pequeña dama. mi vida transcurre serena entre mis actividades creativas y mis responsabilidades familiares y domésticas.”
hello sweet friends, how are you doing? did you have fun on halloween? so that you know, we don’t actually celebrate halloween but it is a national holiday, a religious one. so this is a really great day too, because we get to stay at home and appreciate these fall days.

so… in order to give you more reasons to appreciate this day, i shall present you a talented lady that makes things on paper that are beyond sweet and beautiful… the colours always soft but vibrant as well… every little details is quite taken care of… nothing is missing… and i believe that when you see her work… you feel like buying every piece so that your home, office & gifts may be filled with beauty.
before i let you read all this delightful interview, i would like to let you know that this interview is the first one written both in spanish & english… and it should be also in portuguese, as we have an agreement every time we write each other… she writes in spanish and i write in portuguese so that we can both learn each other’s language, how cool is that?
and now with no further ado… i shall present you patricia pascovich & and her brand {papersome}…
“before everything else let me thank you once again for this invitation, which is an honour for me. i imagine that you will translate what i am about to write, but please do nor forget to mention that this is an honour for me to be in {… a place for twiggs}.”
“antes que nada déjame agradecerte una vez más por esta invitación que para mí es un honor. me imagino que traducirás lo que escriba y te ruego que no dejes de mencionar que para mí es un orgullo estar en {…place for twiggs}.”
“so about me, i can tell you i was born in uruguai and i am married to an italian man from milan for the last 23 years, we have a daughter, two dogs and our lives are lived calmly in montevideo and we also live in punta del este in a specific time of the year. i could live there for the rest of my life, as it is a place where nature fulfils me and where i happen to have found that all my academic and artistic education was driving me towards a new passion… paper goods.”
“de mí puedo contarte que soy uruguaya y estoy casada con un italiano de milán desde hace 23 años y tenemos una hija y dos perros y nuestra vida transcurre serena en montevideo y una parte del año en punta del este. es allí donde siento que podría estar el resto de mi vida, un lugar en el mundo donde la naturaleza me colma y donde descubrí que toda mi educación artística y académica se dirigía hacia una nueva pasión: los papeles.”
“papersome was born in our kitchen, between desserts and long conversations with my daughter maria, that was 17 at that time. we both wanted to live a creative adventure as mother and daughter, as we felt united by some sort of special sensitivity, that made the drawings fresh as maria was but had also the sense of discipline and experience given by me.”
“papersome aunque cause gracia surgió en la cocina de casa, en charlas de sobremesa con mi hija maría, que en ese entonce tenía 17 años. queríamos vivir una aventura creativa entre madre e hija unidas por una sensibilidad especial hacia el diseño con mucho de su frescura y una buena dosis de mi experiencia en la disciplina del dibujo.”
“we have decided to start these prints of reversible papers and a full set of gift stationary (paper, tags, postcards and stickers)… it was a very rich experience, as it had a very pleasing acceptance through a sweet drawings shop. in the meantime, maria went to college and now she is focusing in her career, as i still embrace my notebooks always with an handmade touch, mainly for our friends. however everything else just kept growing in a very natural way… through word of mouth, blogs, requests and all the joy for these handmade things.”
“decidimos hacer juntas una impresión de papeles reversibles y todo un set de complementos de regalo (papeles, tarjetas, postales y stickers para dejar de usar cinta adhesiva). fue una experiencia riquísima y tuvo una muy buena aceptación en nuestro mercado a través de una deliciosa boutique de diseño. pero mientras tanto, maría empezó la universidad, a enfocarse en su carrera y yo a disfrutar armando mis cuadernos y taccuinos en forma artesanal para hacer regalos entre nuestros amigos.
todo lo demás fluyó naturalmente, el boca a boca, el blog, más pedidos y un mayor entusiasmo en el encanto de lo personal y hecho a mano y no tanto en lo industrializado.”
“later, papersome made part of {manos del uruguai}, a wonderful shop that showcases all arts & crafts made in uruguai, well-known in the whole world and with more than 40 years of history. {manos del uruguai} is the perfect place to showcase these small collections made with such passion.”
“más tarde, nuestros productos entraron a {manos del uruguai} una bellísima tienda muy representativa en nuestro país y conocida a nivel internacional y con más de 40 años de trayectoria. el lugar ideal para comercializar mis pequeñas colecciones hechas con tanta pasión.”
“papersome is the result of an experience that fills me with life, colour, texture & daily poetry. it allows me to grow even in a more personal way… every day. as i wrote on my blog… it is quite an achievement to transform a dream into a personal language, handmade in peaceful moments in my house, and inspired by a simple life that i share with my family.”
“papersome es el resultado de una experiencia, que me llena de vida, color, textura y poesía cotidiana. me permite crecer en lo personal un poco más todos los días, y como digo en mi blog, el logro de haber transformado un sueño en un lenguaje personal, realizado en la serenidad de mi casa e inspirados en la vida simple y esencial que comparto con mi familia.”
lovely readers, i hope you have enjoied this interview, though a bit long, i was not able to cut any part as this all sounded such a sweet story and every detail was felt like very important…
patricia is a very sweet friend of mine and i really fell for her work… i believed that i needed to share it with you, so that you could also enjoy these sweet papers, tags & postcards. so… i would like to thank her for being such an interesting guest and this was also a very important moment for me… to introduce her to you.

El blog de Patricia es muy muy lindo… ver las cosas que hace me hace desear tener aunque sea un chiquitito de su habilidad y su capacidad para crear, combinar colores, texturas y componer fotos.
Awesome blog!
