What I Wouldn't Give for a Proper Set of Tools - unframed 8.5" x 11" giclee print

I love how, from a distance, this just looks like a beautiful image of nature - a butterfly print! But come closer and this buttefly has a rather surprising thought. No flitting through the flowers for this one :)

”What I Wouldn’t Give for a Proper Set of Tools” is an unframed, unmatted, open-edition giclée* print of one of a series of altered vintage flash cards - I alter them with text and then mount them on decorative papers and trims. The paper size is 8.5" x 11" but the actual image is smaller, floating in the middle of the page with a border around it for framing. The watermark will *not* appear on the print you receive!

PLEASE NOTE: you will receive an UNFRAMED print. Listing images that show framed art are to help you envision what the art might look like in a frame; you will NOT be receiving a framed work of art.

It's printed with archival inks on rich heavyweight archival paper - paper may be smooth or have a slight texture to it, which enhances the fine art feel - if you have a strong preference, let me know. These paper/ink combinations are rated by Wilhelm Imaging Research to last 200 years in dark storage or 75 years under glass - so it's gonna last!

A note on color: I color-match my prints to the original/digital version. However, due to variations in computer monitors, the colors you see on your screen may look slightly different from the printed version.

The print comes to you unmatted, in a cello sleeve with flawboard backing. To ensure it reaches you safely, I'll ship it in a rigid fiberboard mailer.

Thanks for stopping by!


*giclee is a fancy term for an archival inkjet print! More detail from Wikipedia: Giclée, commonly pronounced "zhee-clay," is a generic term for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The term, from the French verb gicler meaning "to squirt, to spray", originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print.
