"Raindrops" Handmade Papera

24" x 38" sheets

Raindrops is made by the same people that make our Eurorap and our Homespun papers.  This group of artisans generally make their papers for the Japanese market, which has a very high standard for their art and wrapping papers.  It is a very lightweight, transparent paper in solid colors with a "raindrop" texture. 

The story goes that originally these papers would be made during the rainy season, and that the deckle, with its wet pulp, would be put out in the rain to create the "natural" texture (no paper in the dry season!).  Probably not done that way today, but the beautiful colors and textures are still the same.
