Exotic Paper Picture Frames and Albums

Paper Picture Frames have been made using techniques that are thousands of years old.  Particularly in countries like Indonesia and Thailand, ancient peoples developed paper making processes that are still used today to create beautiful and artful papers for picture frames and albums.  The paper makers use a wide variety of sustainable organic materials like bark, leaves, grass, and even flowers.  The hand made aspect of the process and the strong, organic, natural materials make these papers valuable and unique world-wide. Consequently, when the paper is used to make frames and albums, the results can be stunning.

The eco-friendly process involved in making these papers is reflective of nature’s harmony.  And merging this ancient process with our desire to use non-destructive and renewable material to display photos and pictures has generated a unique art form.    Consider a distinctive paper frame or photo album if you think your photos deserve more than cookie cutter frames and mass produced albums that can be found anywhere.

High quality natural paper photo frames are created by hand from natural materials with organic variations that provide a distinctive beauty and they are always unique. A great way to display your photos is to use the frames and albums made from these natural materials. By first shredding the desired material into small bits and then soaking or boiling the material in water for anywhere from a few hours to a few days, local artisans create unique papers, ideal  for frames and albums.  The material is washed, beaten, and pressed onto a screen where it forms the shape of the desired item. Natural dyes are added, and then sun drying completes the uniquely crafted paper.  Beautiful handmade picture frames are then created individually.

Much the same process is used to create unique handmade photo albums.  Going with an individually-created paper picture frame or album conveys an artful balance.  You care as much for the outside environment as you do about the inside.  Having one of these unique items is a great way to move those valuable pictures out of the boxes and drawers to where you can enjoy them each time you look.
