The New Elephant Hide

Post by Fluffy »

Hi

I recently read this review here...
http://origamiusa.org/thefold013_paper_review_skytone

Some of you may already know about this paper and read the review. I came across a Skytone paper booklet with the color palette, a few days ago. I had known about this paper, before the review but forgot about it. It is great paper. Ive folded a few things with it a while ago.. it reminds me of elephant hide.

It is basically elephant hide, that is quite thin (89 gsm, but it seems alot thinner) and comes in more colors. So recently, I went out and bought over 100 sheets of it..

it comes in the following sizes (Ilans review had a mistake in it, so here is the correction I made):

-A4
-19 x 12.5 in.
-25 x 38 in.
-26 x 40 in.
-23 x 25 in.

They are actually quite cheap
-Most big sheets are around USD 50 cents a sheet

However, they have a 10 sheet minimum per color(for big sheets).

You can purchase it here...

Personally I'm not too familiar with EH, but this paper looks interesting. I'll keep it in mind. ^^

Looks like a nice company. Sadly it seems they don't ship outside the US and Canada.

PS I think you need to correct your link

Reality is perception.

The link. It won't hyperlink the entire thing, so you're going to have to copy and paste it into a new tab.
