Description
The scientific name for the Hawaiian green sea turtle is Chelonia mydas, but the Hawaiian name is simply: “Honu.” Despite their status as an endangered species, there are relatively common sightings around the coral reefs in Hawaii waters. In addition to feeding and resting, honu in Hawaii can also be observed basking on sunny beaches.
Printed on 100% Habotai silk using an archival, water soluble, printmaking ink that is oil-based. It has been dry mounted to Xuan rice paper using a traditional mounting method used for Japanese and Chinese scroll mounting. It is PH neutral (acid free). Measures 8 inches x 8 inches.
One of the main ways to protect your silk artwork from moisture, dust, and UV rays is to frame it under conservation glass or acrylic which has a coating that blocks the UV rays. A mat is optional, as long as the artwork is not in direct contact with the glass.
This is an original one-of-a-kind impression. Signed in pencil and stamped with my red chop in the lower right corner. Comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
