'Lets go for a walk at Avocado Lake' - another aerial embroidery from last year! A hilly piece again, I used mottled blue felt for the lake's water instead of sewing it too for a different texture. I got some good height on that island too! :) #landscape #art #artist

This apparently marks the end of the hourlykitten bot on this site. It was a noncommercial labor of love and we hope it brought you some joy. Look for us on other likely sites, starting with ones that are less hostile to users and more hostile to Nazis. twitter.com/TwitterDev/sta…
