FAQs
1. Wrapping and Note:
Each order includes a free note (to/from/message) that will be placed on the outside of the wrapped gift. If the order doesn’t include ‘gift wrapping’ then it will be wrapped in Kraft paper and will be tied up with raffia and makes a nice presentation in itself. Gift wrapping includes the free note on the outside, and is wrapped in the highest quality gold or silver wrapping paper with distinctive dark blue ribbon.
2. What do you mean, “All Materials from Renewable or Recycled Products?”
We have eliminated our temptation to offer steel and aluminum frames which are quite functional, but similar wood products are offered, so why not use renewable products? Aluminum is a high energy cost material which we prefer to avoid. We also have eliminated the typical bubble wrap and offer only crumpled Kraft paper (which is made from 100% recycled products) for packing. Likewise, the shipping box is 80% or more recycled and we are going to eliminate the bleached white cover once this stock runs out. We at one time had found a source of painted wood that was from a low VOC source, but the samples pealed off over time so we’re still looking for a quality source of framing materials. The mats are all made from so called ‘double rag’ which is all from recycled materials. We are still searching for classy ‘green’ type wrapping paper, tape, and ribbon, many are offered but all are limited in size for our long product sizes. We are also studying the ‘backing’ material which right now is dense Styrofoam, soon it too will be replaced by a hard mat product. If you know of any high quality ‘green’ type products please send us an email:

4. About Us
We live in Mesa Arizona, the heart of the sonoran desert. It all started for us with the most famous cactus in the west – the proud Saguaro. The family often took trips to a nearby mining town (Superior, AZ) at least once a month during our first years here and we always delighted and laughed at the various shapes of the proud saguaro cactus. Its outstretched arms and variety of shapes are like snowflakes – no two are alike. Each of us chose our favorite saguaro along the trip and we never failed to appreciate the wonder of a cactus that lives for about 75 years before an arm is even seen, and then can continue to grow for years to come and keep adding arms over the years.
So it’s no wonder that when we heard about others making letters out of architectural shapes, the first time we thought about it we knew that saguaros would make the most wonderful letters – and they do!
And so after maybe a thousand photos, most in the hot 110 degree heat of the summer – we had our first font – the saguaro cactus.
We’ve been building on that concept - first making fonts out of familiar points of interest in nearby Scottsdale, and then adding letter sets from all of the places we visit for business and especially for pleasure. We’ve only just begun!
Please Enjoy YOUR Name – As ART!
