This little barred owl is the second design in my Pennsylvania birds of prey series (although they are found all over the east of the United States, and parts of Canada too!). He's a little cutie, perfect for sending to a nature-loving friend, or popping into a little frame for your own gallery wall.

All my cards are handprinted linocuts, making each one a unique, special piece of art to carry your message.

> Recycled kraft brown envelope
> Safe, non-toxic, linseed oil-based ink
> Blank inside for your own message

> Every card is carefully printed by me using ink rollers and a small metal etching press
> I mix my own ink colors every time I print a batch of cards, so colors may vary very slightly
> Your card will look almost identical to the cards in the photographs here but there may be tiny differences because every print is unique and extra special - this is the charm and appeal of block printmaking by hand!
> For more information about the linocut printmaking technique, read my FAQs and my About section below.

I usually ship with the US Postal Service. Single cards ship standard First Class without tracking info (but you can upgrade to add tracking if desired). Multiple cards/larger prints are upgraded to First Class Package Service which comes with tracking information. An upgrade to Priority Mail (with tracking) is also available at checkout for all US orders.

I carefully package all prints and cards to try and best prevent any damage in transit. I use almost entirely recycled & recyclable materials as packaging, and try to avoid the use of plastics or bubble wrap. A typical order will arrive in a recycled cardboard mailer, with some recycled tissue paper for padding. I also use compostable plant-based protective sleeves when needed.

All my cards and prints are handmade using a technique called block printing. I use different types of linoleum blocks (or "plates") into which I carve my designs, so the prints resulting from this method are usually called linocuts, lino prints, or linoleum prints. I use special sharp carving tools to cut my design out of the lino block, and then using rollers (or "brayers"), I roll printing ink onto the surface of the block.

I then transfer the inked design onto paper or card using either my small etching press (the paper and block are pressed between a metal roller and a metal plate) or with my pull-down press which requires a good amount of strength to use.

Some designs require the use of multiple linoleum blocks and ink colors.
