Details

A truly unique and one of a kind gift! I've acquired some original artwork by artist Francy Kling Blumhagen/Salmonberry Studio from Washington state which I am offering in your choice of frame. This is "Butterfly" featuring a butterfly in black with metallic bright blue & pale purple on metallic copper & burgundy paper. Please check out the close up, it is difficult to photograph and really sparkles in person! Accented with a light blue mat.

These are mixed media block prints, each on individually crafted from start to finish by the artist. Traditional block printing is combined with paint and crayon embellishments and each is a distinct image, no two are exactly the same. Please examine the photos, these are printed on tissue thin hand-painted and torn Japanese paper then each print is applied to a backing paper and signed by the artist. On the reverse side each piece is numbered and there is information about when and where it was made (see photos.) The colors are brighter than they appear in the photos (at least by my monitor settings.)

I am offering your choice of frames - black or rustic taupe. Frames include glass (I took the photos without it to prevent glare.) I do have additional mats so if you would like to see a print in a different color or a pair in the same color mat please ask. Frames can stand on a tabletop or come with a metal hanger and a wall hook (I'd use a nail myself.) The frame backing is a sturdy hard material, not cheap fiberboard. Each print is attached with archival photo corners, not glued in place.

Size: 9″w x 11″ l framed, print is 6.75" l x 4.75" w

Shipping: I have switched all my listings to USPS ground advantage insured to save you $$, if you need priority/express please message me.

    Hi, I'm Cynthia. I am a shop owner with 10+ years of experience. I do everything within my power, including packing with great care and shipping fully insured, to get your "thing of beauty" to you safely. I shop the fine estate sales and auctions in the horse country of north Georgia, nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, and bring them to you, the beholder.

    I was raised in a home where bone china, silver and fine crystal were both used and appreciated. This translated into a love of antiques and handmade items of similar quality. I love the journey that leads me to these beautiful things and I hope you will enjoy my "finds" as much as I have enjoyed finding them.

    Please feel free to reach out to me via text or email with any questions you may have. I am frequently hiking on the weekends so your best chance of a speedy response will be during weekday business hours.

    Follow me on FB and Instagram where I share additional information on the creation/history of my items.

    Helping you find your thing of beauty, Cynthia
