Each print is handmade, signed and numbered (in a series of 175). A xylene transfer is like a screenprint, but without the screen, and the artwork is hand-transferred inch by inch over a long hour. Each piece is an original, slightly different from the last. The paper stock is a 90lb, cream colored, 100% rag (cotton) sheet with 2 deckle edges and measures 22 x 30 inches. When shipped, the print is slowly and carefully rolled within a larger piece of paper, placed securely in a thick protective tube, brought to the post office and priority mailed with delivery confirmation.
