5x7 New Mexico Handmade Wall Art, Southwest State Map Linocut Print, Southwestern Theme Decor, Minimalist Abstract Black Block Print

New Mexico, also the Land of Enchantment, is such a special place. I drew, carved, and hand-printed this print. My inspiration for the design is the beautiful cholla cactus, whose internal skeleton has a wood-like, lattice-like structure with holes in it. I repeated this pattern in the design of this New Mexico art print.

DETAILS: PRINT ONLY — FRAME NOT INCLUDED - Frame shown is a 8x10 frame with a mat. Any frames shown are to help you envision them in your space. YOU CAN GET THIS DESIGN EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT THE HEART. If you'd like to customize the location of heart, please opt for the 8x10 print in my shop.

SIZE: 5x7 inch paper (20.3x25.4 cm) Hand-printed on white Strathmore Printmaking Paper (120 g/m²) Ink is black water-based Speedball ink. The heart is red. Signed by the artist. Each print is slightly different because I hand-print them all.

PROCESS: First, a creative idea comes to mind. Then I draw a sketch onto my block and carve it out by hand using block print tools. Then I roll the water-based ink onto the block with my rubber brayer and press it with my glass baren. Sometimes instead of the brayer I will use my Woodzilla press and finish with the baren. The printing part is my favorite and that, too is done by hand. Each print is individually inked and pulled by hand, then signed by me. 

PLEASE NOTE: Each print is handmade so there may be slight variations. That is what makes each one unique! The colors may vary slightly due to different screen settings. Any frames you see are not included.

SHIPPING: They are lovingly packaged in an acid-free protective sleeve with two pieces of backing board in a hard mailer. Please refer to my shipping policies before placing an order.
