Local wrap

 

I have always appreciated our local mats with beautiful designs made by weavers from various areas of the country. They are nice to sleep on and make good wall/floor decors or even decorative house ware items such as boxes and all around containers.

Seeing mats on display at a Filipiniana store however made me realize that if the beautiful patterns of local mats can be adapted for paper, it may be possible to come up with a uniquely Filipino packaging style and material.

This may not be a new idea and there may be others who have tried this before. But the critical thing is to come up with the best execution of the idea that the public will appreciate and support. Who knows what other things can be spawned pursuing this craft?
