Handmade Paper from Nepal - Die cut and assembled in Seattle Earth Friendly Wedding Collection Each one measures 5x7 when folded shut and almost 13" x 7" when laid flat. The pocket has enough room to comfortably hold your reception card, reply card and reply envelope (should you need one). These should not be mailed without an envelope (envelopes not included). These fit in A7 envelopes. The Daphne bush is farmed and harvested from 3-4 year old plants that are cut down and stripped of their bark to become the raw material from which the sheets are formed. The plant is not destroyed when cut down, it regenerates from the root. The cane like stick, once it's bark is removed is dried and used to heat the villagers homes and to provide cooking fuel for meals and also for the production of the paper. All of the water used in the paper production is reclaimed and reused. The bark is beaten by hand and boiled to break it down to a pulp (where it is mixed in with recycled pulp and paper scrap collected from the card and envelope manufacturing process) that is then pored into screens to form the sheets. These sheets are then dried in the sun. The whole process is not only earth friendly but also provides a large community with a healthy enterprise. All of our lotka paper is at least 50% recycled fiber content. |
