Handmade Pinto Lokta Paper

• These lokta papers are handmade from fiber of the "Nepal paper plant", called the Daphne shrub or Lokta bush. Growing around 6-9,000 feet up in the Himalayan region of Nepal, this bush completely regenerates in about 4 years after being cut to about 6" from the ground.
• The cultivation of this "tree free" paper is eco friendly and a reliable revenue stream for the village artisans of Nepal's rural and urban areas.
• The back sides of these sheets are as equally beautiful as the front sides.
• When glued down the papers take on the look of leather which makes them great for bookarts.
• Handmade in Nepal
