(Therapy, Yoga, Spa, Pilates, Meditation, Prayer Room etc. Printed on 100% tree free lokta paper, made from a shrub, not a tree! For over 1000 years handmade paper has been produced in the mountain area of Nepal. The raw material used in the bark of the Daphne Cannabina or Daphne Papyracea bush, locally know as ‘Lokta’. The bark gathered at high altitudes of 6500 to 9500 feet & carried down to villages where local paper-makers clean & boil it twice. The boiled bark is beaten with wooden mallets, producing a soft pulp which is poured over screened wooden frames floating in a pond, & spread evenly by gently shaking. The frame is then removed & dried in the Himalayan sunshine & the resulting paper peeled off the frame. After harvesting, the Lokta bush naturally regenerates, reaching full maturity again in six to seven years, thus preserving the fragile forest ecology of Nepal, as well as giving continued work to the many mountain villages. It is entirely handmade. MORE DESIGNS..
