Waterfowl
 by Fred

From the stately heron to the pensive ducklings, waterfowl are one of nature's adornments. The brilliant colors of the Mandarin duck or the stark white of the egrets all lend themselves to adorning items around us. For the tote bag shown below I used the Egret and a piece of silk brocade for the band around the bottom of the bag. These designs would also be perfect for groupings of framed pictures.
