Black Ink Thai Mango Paper

Comments about Thai Mango Paper:

I bought the natural paper. It was thinner that I thought it would be and the leafs and bark fibers are I little gross and trash looking after it's been glued down. I think it would look really good dyed or water colored/ inked over though.

I used this paper to create origami models which I sell online. I bought a piece of Rust colored paper, which turned out to be a bit more orange than I expected, but it was still a very pretty color. This paper is fairly good for origami; a bit on the thin side, and the mango leaves add an extra challenge. If they occur on a detailed portion of the model, it's a bit more difficult to fold that portion. On the other hand, the leaves add a very neat texture and design to the finished model, which I think is worth the possible extra difficulties.

Each sheet has dried mango leaves embedded into handmade paper. Colors are useful for artistic backdrops or drawings using artistic effect. Paper is soft and thin with irregular edges. Large sheet was trimmed down so I could use for photography backdrops in home studio. Could be glued to handmade artist's books or sculptures.

I used this paper as a wrapped band that I sealed with a wax seal to hold together my wedding invitation suite. It worked beautifully. It has a slight rigidity to it that make cutting and working with it rather easy, though I had to use a sharp blade and ruler to get a clean cut. The beautiful mango leaves through out the paper provide strength, but can be little obstructions in the cutting process, so beware. Great for decorative work.. it would be interesting to print on as well.

Used for printing intaglio etchings and it really held up well. Beautifully crafted and accurate colors.

I have covered boxes with this and will cover a mirrored wall in a condo I am buying.

I purchased 25" x 37" sheets Thai Mango paper for use in life-sized dress sculptures and mobiles made from paper leaves. I ordered the "yellow" and "brick". When the yellow is bonded with acrylic medium it looks like aspen leaves - many people touch them to see if they are real. The brick color, once bonded, looks like maple leaves. I use many different colors to create the mobiles for variety and interest. The paper is sturdy and the color does not run when wet. It's perfect for the work that I do.

I cover handmade books and boxes. This paper cuts cleanly and takes glue well. It flexes smoothly at corners.

I will be using this paper for collaging/watercolour. I am excited to find it at Dick Blick.
