MAGNIFICATION by Diane Boyko

I found this challenge to be interesting and thought provoking.   In my garden in April the ferns were unfurling.  They appealed to me.   Further along seashells were on the rocks.   The circular markings on the shell looked like a great shape to work with.

 The design is made of silk fusion over a cotton fabric.   The feathers are stitched with a rayon thread over a spiral guideline.  Shading was added later.   A fun project.
