Sea Nettle jellies are notoriously beautiful, drifting creatures with tendrils flowing like long, diaphanous gowns. They get the name from all of those frilly and stringy tentacles having stinging cells. Painful, but typically not deadly to humans, these tentacles are useful catching Pollock, larval fishes, and other jellies. The print block is a cross cut of Oregon Coast Range forest wood that was hand carved with the natural shape and live edge left around the outside border of the print. To achieve the color blend, every color is hand applied all at once with brushes, like a painting. 100% cotton rag paper is then hand pressed (without a printing press) to create a unique print each time. No two are ever alike and every time the block is rubbed, the grains change slightly. The piece was done entirely by Karen Britt and measures 5.5”x 7”. Every print comes with an info sheet about the subject and print. This print comes to you ready to mat and frame in a way of your choosing. Contact us if you wish for this print to be panel mounted and sealed (ready to hang on the wall).
