"It will be grand" linocut print on beautiful Nepalese Mountain Lokta eco-friendly paper. Handprinted in my Studio Shop in Castlecomer Craft Yard, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. Each lino print is slightly different, printed with artist quality water-based black ink. Size: A5 SOLD UNFRAMED Find me on Instagram to see behind the scenes: @dominika_stoppa This paper is made from the fibrous inner bark of Daphne Cannabina papyracea, locally known as "Lokta", an evergreen shrub found between the altitudes of 1600 to 4000 metres on the southern slopes of the Himalayas country of Nepal. Lokta has the ability of regenerating within 5 to 7 years after harvesting. The bark is collected with environmental awareness & large scale "Lokta" resources remain untapped. This indigenous handmade paper is renowned for its special texture, exceptional durability & resistance to tearing, humidity, insets & mildew. The oldest available manuscripts of Buddhist text, royal edicts & legal documents were recorded on this paper. The paper making process involves cooking the bark twice, washing, chopping & beating with wooden hammer. The soft pulp is poured over a wooden framed fine mesh & spread evenly by gently shaking the floating frame in water before being sun dried.
