  • Caring Instructions for Your Amate Paper Artwork

    Your "Earthbound Whispers" is a delicate and organic masterpiece crafted from authentic handmade amate paper. To preserve its natural beauty and intricate textures, please follow these essential care guidelines:

    • Avoid Direct Sunlight 🌞 – Amate paper and those vibrant colors are highly sensitive to UV rays, which can cause fading and deterioration over time. Display your artwork in a space that does not receive direct sunlight.

    • Keep Away from High Humidity Areas 💧 – Excessive moisture can weaken the paper fibers and lead to warping or mold growth. Do not place the artwork in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any space prone to humidity buildup.

    • Protect from Dust and Grime 🏠 – Since this artwork has no glass covering, dust and grime can accumulate over time. Avoid placing it in kitchens or areas with airborne grease and dirt. Gently dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster when needed—avoid using any cleaning sprays or damp cloths.

    • Prevent Water Exposure 🚰 – Do not hang the artwork in areas where it might come into contact with water, such as near sinks, bathtubs, or open windows during rainy seasons. Even minor splashes can damage the paper’s structure.

    • Maintain a Stable Environment 🌡️ – Extreme temperature changes can affect the integrity of the paper. Keep the artwork in a well-ventilated area with a stable climate, away from heating vents or air conditioners.

    By following these care instructions, your handmade amate paper artwork will remain vibrant and well-preserved for years to come. This is more than just a piece of art—it is a testament to craftsmanship and tradition, deserving of thoughtful care and appreciation.
