This gorgeous paper comes to us from a Mexico, where skilled artisanshave been producing amate paper for centuries. The culture of amatepaper dates back to pre-Columbian Meso-American times.Amate paper looks amazing if you simply frame a sheet as ready madeartwork. Also terrific for bookmaking arts, collage, multimedia artwork,paper sculpture, lampshades, and more.Solid Amate paper is often used for gouache paintings. It can also beused for acrylic painting. The amate "rainbow" (or "arcoiris") papers are so popular that we asked our friends in Mexico to product a solid sheet with a rainbow effect. This is the beautiful design that they came up with! It is literally a crazy quilt of all the bright colors that amate paper comes in. It is also reminiscent of outfits worn by harlequin clowns on the stage. Absolutely stunning!
