Elsy Menko – Nature #3

Landscapes

For nature series # 3 and 4 my chosen subject is landscapes. This is one of the beautiful landscapes we saw in
New Zealand’s South Island. The Kawaura River flows eastward between two lakes and passes through a deep gorge.
Fusing of commercial cotton fabrics, steam-a-seam, tule, free machine embroidery and hand stitching.
