The mauve blooms of the Water Violets tower over the pond surface while their roots cast deep into the water. One adventurous duckling paddles over to them in curiosity to get a closer look at the beautiful bloom. When a Water Skater quickly darts amongst its stems, it moves fast and skittish forces the duckling to retreat.
 
A number of techniques and mediums were used in the creation of this piece. The background is fabric painted and the duckling, water skater and voilets were achieved through quilting, applique, embroidery, textile techniques.
