SKU# 6604590

A thoughtful owl fronts this journal, made with lined handmade paper. This would also make a great bird watching journal, since it includes blank pages for sketches and lined pages for notes. Made by artisans of Shuktara Handmade Paper in Bangladesh.

Artisans use jute—the “golden fiber” of Bangladesh—to produce this paper. After soaking and pounding the fiber to make a pulpy mass, artisans add it to water and stir until it is uniformly smooth. Each large sheet of paper is made individually by lifting the pulp in a thin layer on a framed screen. The paper is placed in the sun to dry, after which it is ready for use in products such as this card.
