Gulf Coast ABC (Board 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 beaches and in the woods along Florida's Gulf Coast. I do not manipulate these forms, so to find the letters fully formed requires careful observation and becomes a challenge during my trips.
