Journal Small Blockprint PR-B-RJS
$ 6.00
4.5″ x 6″ small block printed journal with 50pgs of traditional Lokta paper. We love when two of our talented artisan groups join forces to create a truly unique item! For this journal the incredibly artistic Ram Shekar who does all of our blockprinting used the beautifully handcrafted paper and craftsmanship of our paper producers at BWCP for his blank canvas. Assorted colors and designs, each journal is one-of-a-kind. BWCP
Description
In the heart of the Himalayas, Nepali craftspeople have been producing handmade paper for over a thousand years. Prized for its durability, soft texture, and natural color, Lokta paper is an environmentally friendly, tree-free paper made from the bark of the regenerating Daphne bush.
Originally used in Tibetan monasteries for sacred texts, the making of Lokta paper is a village tradition dating back thousands of years. Today, this ancient technique is used for official government documents in Nepal, as well as Ganesh Himal’s beautiful paper goods. The paper is naturally insect free and will last more than 100 years. Our paper is sourced directly from the paper producers in the Baglung area of Nepal.
