One proud female kingfisher holds fast to her freshly caught fish. Flying along the river bank she navigates to her burrow, where inside her young lay safe and happy, waiting for her arrival.
 
A number of techniques and mediums were used in the creation of this piece. The background is fabric painted and the Kingfisher, fish and branch were achieved through quilting, appliqué, painting and embroidery. These techniques create the different textures from the soft feathers of the Kingfisher to the knotted branch. Unfortunately, the three-dimensional relief doesn't show particularly well in the photos, so please take a look at the depth of the piece to get an idea of the overall effect.
