Batik Lokta Paper - Monstera Rust

A batik technique has been used to produce this leaf pattern in burgundy red and yellow. Hand-carved wooden blocks are used to create patterns on the paper using wax as a resist.

Handmade in Nepal these wonderful papers are a fully sustainable product and prized for their strength, durability and versatility.  Use them for papercraft, bookbinding and arts and craft. The paper has a waxy feel and is more rigid than standard paper, but accepts adhesive well.  Due to the translucent nature of the batik lokta these are excellent for lampshade making.
