    About the Artist: Nikom

    'After graduating in Bangkok in industrial engineering, I set up my own saa paper and umbrella workshop. I improved designs and patterns, and changed stages in the procedure and techniques in order to improve quality. I tend to keep to traditional Thai patterns, but I also have been creating new designs. I am proud to say that my products are traditional, decorative, useful, and locally made. When demand for our products is great, I dispatch work to people living nearby.' Saa paper is a 700 year-old tradition in Thailand. Made from the bark of the mulberry tree, it is used for Buddhist scripts, temple decorations, umbrellas, fans and kite making.

It's pretty. The picture is hand painted. It's all hand made. It's kinda big.. but you can make it work.
