Water is Life - Joanne Dunglison

Water is our most
precious and essential
element on our planet.
Without it life would
not exist. It is motile,
it is patient. Over time
it can carve a valley,
nurture a forest, create
life and sometimes
destroy it. It shapes
the landscape and
drives the weather.
Water in all its forms is
the one thing that
humans, plants,
animals and
minerals need for their
very existence.

embellished with
beads, yarns &
shells, then
appliqued onto the
background. Yarns,

were hand
