In the heart of the Himalayas, Nepalese artisans use a traditional process of ancient paper making to craft these sheets. Lokta paper comes from the bark of the Daphne plant (known locally as Lokta), a shrub that grows in abundance at altitudes over 6500 feet. When the bark is harvested it promotes new growth on the plant, and the bush automatically fully regenerates itself in about 5 years. With controlled harvest, the process is both sustainable and eco-friendly.
Since it comes from a shrub instead of a tree, the fibers are longer, which results in a paper is known for its durability, flexibility, and soft texture. The paper making process and subsequent screen printing is 100% handmade using simple technology and local raw materials. The artisans crafting the paper are mostly women.
This handmade process means that each sheet is unique. Colors, paper weight, and the way the screen printed image looks will vary. This is all part of the unique charm of artisanal goods.

Fave Washi Tape
I love cognitive surplus washi tape so much. This might be one of my faves so far!

Maya Script Washi Tape
Feels and looks great
These cases are well made and fit the pillow inserts I have very well. The canvas is thinner and softer than I anticipated (in a good way). Very pleased with the product.

Best washi tape
This is the most fun washi tape I've encountered (not just the octopus one, which is phenomenal, but the whole collection). I love that I finally found washi tape that matches my science nerdy loves.
I love the small size of this design. I was looking for small ladies faces for a project and these are perfect. Thank you.
Love these!
This is my second large desk/mouse pad - I have one the woodlands one on my desk at work and added this cool Ocean one at home. They are really nice quality, unique designs and makes for a great work space that feels nice on your arms arms and protects your desk surface. Super stylish addition but also super functional.

Aside from a reminder of all the equations I’ve forgotten from my physics studies, the “Equations That Changed The World” mugs we purchased (and I assume their other mug offerings) are just plain great. Right sized and their handles are very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great pens
I'm really enjoying these pens. Just a hint of sparkle and they still write so smoothly.
Fantastic pens
These are some of the best pens you can buy. Vibrant color. Smooth writing. I always throw in a pack of new colors with every order. I strive to own them all.
