Nepali Lokta Silkscreened Paper: Pink and Yellow Paisley Floral (23” x 18”), 8g

Note: Our minimum order is $ 5 for handmade papers (any combination of designs). Thank you for your understanding!
 
This paper features a silkscreened floral and paisley motif with pink ink added atop a yellow sheet of lokta paper.
 
Lotka paper is handmade and sustainable, sourced from the bark of the Daphne Cannabina or Daphne Papyracea bush (lokta) without harming the roots. The bush is found at high altitudes in the Himalayas, its bark boiled and pulped in villages, the pulp then spread on wood screened frames held in ponds and shaken to even out the pulp. The frames are then removed from water and left in the sun to dry, the resulting paper then peeled off. 
 
Due to the process of the paper making and printing, each sheet will have natural imperfections. 
 
This piece does have some folds or creases and will be mailed folded. To flatten out the paper, you can iron it on a low setting with a cloth barrier, or place it under a heavy weight for a few days. A light misting with water can help relax the paper fibers before flattening as well. 
 
We have only one sheet of this design, height 23” and length 18”. Weight is 8g. 
 
Bonus: Smaller scraps of this paper will be included with your order.
