Gorgeous Dark natural colored Nepalese mountain paper from Eastern Nepal. The paper is handmade & feels quite soft, but the surface has lovely crisp, smooth-ish texture.
size approx 19.5 x 29.5 inches / 50 x 75 cm with deckle edges.
30gsm~ pretty lightweight but fairly strong, reasonably robust for the weight.
Gives a crisp fold, produces a nice torn edge

These papers are made from the bark fibre of lokta, a plant which grows above 3000 metres in the Himalayan foothills. This is a renewable resource and the fibre collection and paper manufacture create valuable employment in the hill areas. The dyeing is done in the Kathmandu valley using dyes which meet current EU standards on effluence and toxicology.
Great with pen and ink for calligraphy, for collage or for wrapping.... if your ink should bleed, a fixative can be used but most are fine.
*********************************************
I will combine shipping on multiple purchases & refund any overcharges :-) It's difficult to work out the postal permutations as all the papers weigh differently! You may want to contact me about a mixed order first, then I can give you a personal listing with the correct shipping price. Full sheets are sent rolled in a tube & several will ship for the same cost. You can leave a note at checkout to request them folding to reduce cost.
