Kawakawa Leaf 3D Thread Sculpture #5.

The Kawakawa tree is commonly found throughout New Zealand and is well known to the Maori for its long history of medicinal use. The heart shaped leaves are boiled in a pot to create a delicious minty tasting herbal tonic.  This sculpture shows the many holes left by the cheeky nocturnal looper caterpillar that feasts on the leaves at night.

Professionally framed using a white boxed frame and museum grade glass. This offers ultimate clarity, with reduced reflection, and has 99% UV protection from the sun.

The embroidery is made up of hundreds of tiny crochet stitches, made on a sewing machine, and finished by hand embroidery, mounted onto glass pins.

Size is:  Height:  58cm x Width:  40cm x Depth: 4.5cm.

Framed and ready to be hung.  Each artwork comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
