More about our Handmade Lokta Artists Paper
Paper Size: 30 inches by 20 inches (i.e. 760 mm by 510 mm) - Double Crown
Our Himalayan artists’ paper handmade in Nepal from the bark of the Lokta bush, Daphne papyracea, is suitable for use by artists and crafts people, or as a beautiful gift wrapping paper for presents.
Nepali handmade paper is available as packs of 3 sheets of large, traditionally-finished, Double Crown-sized poster paper. Double Crown paper is 30 inches by 20 inches (i.e. 760 mm by 510 mm) and is therefore one and a half times the size of metric A2 paper.
These medium-weight handmade artists papers (100 gsm) are made from natural sustainable plant products and come in a range of natural colours. They are suitable for decorative paper crafts including card making and collages, as well as for covering books and photograph frames. The fibre structure makes this paper suitable for printmaking or batik, as well as for calligraphy, woodcut, linocut and silk screen printing. Some artists also use lokta paper for origami.
These sheets are an ideal size to use for wrapping presents, in scrapbooks or even lining a special drawer or shelf. Impress your loved ones with a present that starts with a natural wrapping paper.
