The Alligators are snapping
This is just the coolest canvas ever. The one and only Eleanor Grosch designed this florida alligator. I love her style. It’s perfect for stitches. Every detail is boiled down to the minimum number of shapes necessary to tell the story. Can’t you just see the alligator gliding through the water in search of his […]
