Atlantic Coast ABC (Cloth Edition) by Bea Nettles

Sold
This ABC is part of a continuing series of alphabets that were shot using plant forms found on my travels. These images were taken on the beach sands in North Florida. I do not manipulate these forms, so to find the letters fully formed requires careful observation and becomes a challenge during my trips.
