Platypus in Purple Pansies Mid-century dress or Golden ChanterelleSome animals are more trouble than others; its taken me years to get a platypus design that I was happy with. This is based on an illustration from Richard Lydekker & Philip Lutley Sclaters The Royal Natural History from 1893. The platypus is 4. 75 inches wide, stitched by hand on 5x7 inch 100% cotton watercolour paper, which means that it will pop right into any commercial frame in that size, and be ready to hang on your wall.
