Info
Our very own Eco friendly 100% cotton, internally & externally gelatine sized, deckle edged handmade paper from India.
The machinery normally used to make paper uses a considerable amount of energy, turning paper pulp into a giant roll of perfectly dry paper in barely a minute. Our handmade papers however are made from recycled cotton, they are individually set into the moulds and then dried slowly in the Indian sun. The water used in the production is then run off to irrigate the field neighbouring the factory. These papers are also made in special small moulds which allows us to produce beautiful deckle edged sheets in 1/4 & 1/2 imperial sizes. All papers are available at an unbeatable price!
1/4 and 1/2 sheets are deckled on all four sides of the 140lb & 200lb papers.
It is a challenging surface but those who love it find it very rewarding. It is a very soft paper and has low sizing so you have to be an confident watercolorist or an experimentalist to love it.

Review
This is an unusual surface, with irregular edges and an obvious "handmade" look and feel: uneven surface and some dots and brown spots. It's soft, absorbent, and uneven like, say a cardboard egg box.It's almost like paper maché. So it's a challenging surface to work on, not at all like normal watercolour paper. I liked it, though, for experiments and special project work with larger brushes. This is very thick and stiff paper, more like cardboard. I found it hard work to cut it with scissors and it's impossible to tear. Next time I'll ask for it to be cut to 1/4 or 1/2 size, which I notice that Jackson's offer to do. An interesting addition to my collection of inspiring papers.

Rough surface which is quite delicate. Very absorbent.
