Eco Art by mayah(c)2015: "Orchid #2" Greeting Card 6"X6"
The holes around the edges are punched using a threadless sewing machine; the running stitch embroidery is done by hand. This time I left the flower as-is and didn't embroidery around the petals. The polka-dot background paper was hand-painted by a friend.
