MOHAWK KID limited edition handmade print

Description: "Mohawk Kid" is an original handmade block print of a Golden-crowned Kinglet sporting his glorious puffed-up head feathers while perched on an Alder branch. He's one of the most colorful members of "The Alder Gang," a group of songbirds made up of different species who share their environment and help each other stay safe.

Great gift: This print is perfect for anyone who loves nature, kinglets, songbirds, or showy headgear. If you're looking for a group of prints to hang together, "Mohawk Kid" would love to hang out with his buddies "Walenda" and "Dee Dee," with whom he shares a color palette and design scheme.

Printmaking Process: I hand-printed each print on white 100% cotton paper (archival and acid-free) with lightfast ink. For each of the nine colors, I carved out more and more of the same linoleum block by hand and then printed that color. This method is called reduction printmaking because you reduce the block as you carve more away. That means you cannot go back and print a color again. Thus, this is a limited edition of 12 prints, which I have signed by hand. 

Due to the handmade nature of printmaking, there may be slight variations between individual prints, making each one a unique piece of art. In this print, there are slight variations in the darker head feathers.

Archival Mounting Option: This print can be bought on its own or mounted between a mat and foam board, ready to be inserted in an 8 x 10 inch frame. All mounting materials are acid-free and archival.
