Esmeralda the Giraffe, lino on silk

Esmeralda the giraffe adventuresome. She sails tall ships. She collects antique nautical charts and teaches scuba diving. Secretly she hopes one day to find sunken treasure. In her spare time she grows prize-winning vegetables.

 

Esmeralda is an original lino block print giraffe in brown textile ink on yellow-gold silk. The backside is patchwork of gold and turquoise upholstery fabric and a Japanese inspired cotton quilting fabric. She is embellished with iridescent gold and turquoise glass bead. She is stuffed with cotton/poly stuffing.

 

The photo shows Esmeralda's front side against my carpet.
