This gorgeous paper comes to us from a Mexico, where skilled artisans have been producing amate paper for centuries. The culture of amate paper dates back to pre-Columbian Meso-American times. Amate paper looks amazing if you simply frame a sheet as ready made artwork. Also terrific for bookmaking arts, collage, multimedia artwork, paper sculpture, lampshades, and more. The artisans that we work with from Mexico have named this amate design "Flores," or "Flowers." It is one of the most delicate designs and it is extremely beautiful!
