Other notes: this paper takes wet media well due to internal sizing, but will pill and buckle with too much wet layering applications. This paper is quite heavily sized, so watercolour can dot on the surface a little (it was one of my earlier batches - I was still learning the ropes!)

~ notes on handmade paper weight ~
Handmade paper is exactly what it sounds like: completely handmade. I make my handmade paper myself, using a mould and deckle to pull individual sheets from a big plastic box full of water and pulp. As such, paper weight will vary between batches and within a batch! I do my best to keep things consistent but I'm only human, and it's part of the beauty of handmade that it's not completely uniform.
If you want a specific type of paper in a specific weight, please do get in touch and I'm sure I can pull a custom batch for you. :) My paper, like my paints for the most part, are made to order, so adjustments can be made with enough notice.

~ shipping details ~
I ship my paper within biodegradable cello bags, inside of board back envelopes to keep them flat during delivery. Larger orders may be sent in shallow boxes. Larger papers may be sent rolled in tubes. All packaging is able to be recycled or composted.
