Audrey by Hazel Blomkamp

The largest of the flightless birds and native to Africa, the Ostrich is farmed for its decorative feathers. Using artistic licence, this project which measure 310 x 190 mm (12 x 7.5 inches) is worked in the delicate shades of the Little Karoo – semi-desert region of Southern Africa that is home to most of the Ostrich farms in that area.
