Note about the paper - this paper is handmade and so it has some irregularities, it has deckled edges (visible on some pictures), it can also be slightly out of shape - this isn't any defect as in my opinion only adds to the handmade art qualities. Framing and mounting will most definitely hide the edges so don't worry if you dislike it.
Khadi Paper has been hand made ethically in India, largely in Nepal and Bhutan. They are made from 100% cotton rag. Genuine rag papers are rare and it is the fibre length of this raw material that gives Khadi rag papers their exceptional strength and durability. The cotton rag they use comes from T-shirt cuttings, a reliable source of woven cotton. It has a rough texture and four deckled edges giving it a rustic as well as a handmade feel. No two sheets of this paper are exactly the same.

This artwork is Unframed - I don't frame my art, this is because the frame and the glass especially would significantly increase the risk of brakeage and shipping costs. Also this way you can choose an exact colour and size of the frame to suit your home interior.
Framing advise: **This is an original watercolour painting. To preserve its original quality, it should be framed behind a glass and kept away from direct sunlight. The glass will protect the painting from dust and moisture damage - please note it should never touch the artwork. Consider archival framing, where all of the materials touching the artwork such as mat or the backing board are acid free and 100% archival - It assures the looks, life and quality of your art for decades to come**

painting will be shipped flat - packed in reinforced envelope or a box for better protection, shipped by Registered Mail with tracking number. Deliveries to USA or Canada are shipped usually by FedEx or UPS and should arrive within a few working days!
