handmade paper
Pulp pressed manually
Handmade paper is paper produced by hand rather than machine, typically made by dipping a mold into a vat of pulp and water, then pressing and drying the resulting sheet.
It often has irregular edges (deckle edges), visible fibers, and variations in thickness that distinguish it from commercial paper.
