Qagida - Horned Puffin - Limited Edition Hand Embellished Print
Limited Edition prints are hand embellished by the artist to enhance the texture and depth of these remarkable pieces. Embroidery is added to selected locations where it will best highlight the details within the piece. These prints are limited to only 50 total. As these are made-to-order, please allow 1-2 weeks to ship.
This little beauty is a Horned Puffin (Fratercula corniculata) - the "horns" above their eyes during breeding season are where they get their name!
Fun facts:
They carry loads of fish in their beaks back to their cliff side nests - one individual was observed carrying 65 fish at once!
During the winter, they hang out at sea! They return to the cliffs where they nest during breeding season and immediately begin their courtship rituals.
This piece was created on sustainably harvested birch bark using a variety of classic and modern embroidery techniques. I included a variety of Japanese delica beads to enhance their prominent beak and feet. The eyes of the herring are even made from vintage 1940s sequins!
