Our Onevillage.com hand made paper «Mountains giftwrap™» (as well as our «Cards from the mountains™»), begins as lokta daphne: from a rapidly regenerating shrub that is unique to just below the summer snowline in the high hills of Nepal.     To ensure diversity of plant life – necessary to protect the hillsides – it is essential to pollard the shrub regularly. The paper is made from the bark of the pollarded sections of the shrub.

HOW THEY MAKE IT....     Dried out lokta daphne bark is thoroughly cleaned, black parts removed, then it is boiled in water.     After natural cooling, the substance is beaten to make pulp.     The pulp is thoroughly mixed with water in a vat, then scooped out as film onto a net frame.     This paper film is «dressed» – in other words, tidied up – then finally dried naturally in the sun.     THE RESULT.... Crisp, exceptionally durable paper, exclusively from Nepal.     Paper with patterns is block printed by hand using wooden blocks.

«Twirlart» cards are made from water-hyacinth mixed with cotton. Neatly glued inside each card is a separate four-page smooth paper leaf ready for your own message or enough space even for a letter. The graphic designs are expert examples of «quilling» – a skilled form of art produced by twirling paper. The result is joyfully 3-dimensional. A6 size (105x148mm). Plain inside; no printed greeting, but includes additional 4-page leaf for longer message.

Wildly unique cards made of water hyacinth collected out of Lake Victoria, and then with great originality and imagination decorated with graphics constructed from a range of recycled materials. Wire has been rescued from, for example, the compressors of discarded refrigerators and air conditioning units; whilst flat metal surfaces come from all kinds of used cans and containers – so no two cards can ever be exactly the same. Although made from what might be thought of as waste materials, you can see in the detail that the producers take great care making these cards. Your recipient will be impressed with your choice of card! Because of the attached metalwork, Hiwire cards might in UK need a large letter rate stamp. The maximum thickness for regular letters is 5mm. Hand creation of these cards enables livelihoods for young women and men in western Kenya. Textured paper. A6 size (105x148mm). Includes additional 4-page leaf for longer message. Plain inside; free from any preprinted greeting. 7 designs from Kenya, supplied with peel & seal envelope. ~ Top Hiwire™ card: Partytime BOOK FOLD 12927 £5 Hiwire card: Partytime TO ORDER, CLICK ADD: Hiwire™ card: Welcoming tree BOOK FOLD 12921 £5 Hiwire card: Welcoming tree TO ORDER, CLICK ADD: Hiwire™ card: Guitars TENT FOLD 12922 £5 Hiwire card: Guitars TO ORDER, CLICK ADD: Hiwire™ card: Two ride a tandem TENT FOLD 12923 £5 Hiwire card: Two ride a tandem TO ORDER, CLICK ADD: Hiwire™ card: Post a letter TENT FOLD 12924 £5 Hiwire card: Post a letter TO ORDER, CLICK ADD: Hiwire™ card: United hearts TENT FOLD 12925 £5 Hiwire card: United hearts TO ORDER, CLICK ADD: Hiwire™ card: Celebration candles TENT FOLD 12926 £5 Hiwire card: Celebration candles TO ORDER, CLICK ADD: Top
