Yellow eyed penguin 'Hoiho' 3D sculptural embroidery

This Yellow eyed penguin embroidery is totally handmade with love.

The Hoiho (yellow eyed penguin) is a threatened bird of New Zealand, uncommon to see, usually gulping down fish far out a sea, or hiding in the sand dunes at sunset.  It is only found in the South Island.  I have been lucky to photograph these secretive birds, whilst venturing around the wild beaches of Dunedin.

Each bird is carefully pinned to perspex, and encased in a clear perspex box, preserved like a museum specimen.

This measures:

Length:  18.5cm

Height:  12cm

Depth:  10cm.

Boxed and ready to be hung.  Each embroidery comes with its own signed certificate of authenticity.
