Black Ink Creative International Papers

Embossed dots, each measuring about 1/2" in diameter are laid out in a geometric pattern, contrasting against a lighter colored background. Handmade from the Lokta bush in Nepal, the paper is bathed in a non-toxic Azo dye, then hand embossed with a patterned template and dried naturally in the sun with the template still in place. The brighter the sun, the darker the exposed areas of the embossing, melding the two techniques of solar “sun washing” and embossing into one gorgeous paper. Acid Free, this paper lends itself to bookarts, decor/design, paper crafts and more.

Although machinemade, these kozo based papers have a very handmade organic look featuring chunky banana bark and fiber inclusions. By utilizing the abundant waste bark and by-product of banana trees, once they are cut down after the fruit has been harvested, this tree-free paper helps to prevent the eco-system’s rivers and forests from becoming polluted with waste.

• Chunks of banana bark and banana fibers are featured throughout this eco-friendly kozo paper. Featuring an earthy adobe brown color, this acid free paper is excellent for fine art and mixed media such as collage, paper crafts, card making, scrapbooking and more

Brightly colored strands of natural kozo fibers in hues of lime green and olive green are melded with a sheer mulberry base, creating a unique appeal. Both sides of this paper can be used to create different effects. One side is more textured with the strands appearing finer, while the other side is more smooth with larger “chunks” of color. While the kozo strands provide strength to this tissue based paper, it can still be torn to produce beautiful feathery edges, making it a perfect choice for collage and mixed media art accents.
