Fern mandala card is digitally printed using archival pigment inks on silky, bright white, acid-free paper. Folded card is 5.25" by 5.25" and comes with a beautifully made, bright white envelope. The photograph I used to create the fern mandala is printed on the back of the card with the photo location. Interior of the card is blank and the paper is super smooth, not slick, and takes gel, ballpoint, and other inks well. Wonderful as a soothing gift for yourself or a friend who might be feeling unmoored. A nice birthday card or thinking of you for anyone who loves nature, especially the deep woods. Perfect for the Virgos in your life who gravitate toward natural beauty. The card and envelope are packaged together in a plastic sleeve and mailed in a stiffened mailer.

Framing. This fern mandala card is created using high-quality materials, such as might be used in a museum. The print is sharp, bright, and frameable. To protect the vibrancy of the artwork, I frame using UV glass or acrylic, and I recommend it. If you use plain glass or acrylic, make sure you hang this sweet, little piece and all your beautiful art away from direct sunlight.

About the Art. The fern mandala art on this card, titled Walk Gently, began as a photo taken along The Trail of the Cedars in Glacier National Park, Montana. The Trail of the Cedars is right on the main road through the park, very close to the entrance gate, and is extremely popular. Although beautiful shared with others, you really need to stop by in early morning or late evening to get the real, bone-deep feel of the place. You'll experience the power of Avalanche Gorge and the mystery of its cyan waters, majestic cedars towering over you and creating deep shade, birdsong that seems to come from everywhere at once, and a dripping rock face against which a dense carpet of ferns clusters. Those ferns, whose energy I attempted to catch in this mandala, carry a reminder to stop and look, pause and really feel the place where you stand. Walk gently on this beautiful Earth.
