I have a few in my front yard and they always make me smile. They are hardy, resilient, and they grow pretty fast. The green is so vivid and I love it when the ends, sometimes called tuna, turn purple. You can also eat them and some of the restaurants near me serve prickly pear margaritas. This print would be a great gift for any desert lover. And it would go wonderfully given as a set of two or three or more of my desert collection prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS: PRINT ONLY — FRAME NOT INCLUDED Any frames shown are to help you envision them in your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE: 5x7 inch (12.7 x 17.8cm) paper. Hand-printed on white Strathmore Printmaking Paper (120 g\/m²) Ink is hand-mixed green and hand-mixed purple water-based Speedball ink. Signed by the artist. Each print is slightly different because I hand-print them all. For example: some of the purple pieces, aka the \"tunas\" on each print are in different locations making each print unique. The shades of purple and green may be slightly different as well due to screen displays and also hand-mixing of ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePROCESS: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHIPPING: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItems purchased are not to be resold and are for personal use only.
