Mali žepni zvežčič

 Včasih sem velikokrat zavila v indijsko trgovinico. Lepo je dišalo in našlo se je kup zanimivh reči. Med njimi tudi majhne zvezke iz naravnega papirja. Kot se mi vse prepogosto dogaja, kupim kakšno reč kar tako. Ker mi je všeč in ker bom nekoč to še potrebovala (haha).

Do mene so našli pot še drugi manjši in malo večji zvezki, ki so priromali od prijateljev, ki poznajo mojo slabost do naravnega papirja.

To poletje sem jim končno potisnila v torbico in so me spremljali na mojih poteh. 

Natural hand crafted Mulberry paper

Over 600 yrars ago in the moutains of northeastern Burma the Karen Hill-Tribe people found a remarkable bark that naturally peeled from the frunk of this tall broad leafed tree at the end of every rainy season. So began the craft of making natural paper without destroying or cutting down the trees.

For the last hundred years Hill-Tribe paper makers have been practicing their craft in the naighboring mountains of Northern Thailand. They still use natural dyes and lay their paper in the sun to dry, as did their ancestors centuries ago.
