Fruity prickly pear has encircled this old barbed-wire fence post in this unique wall-hanging from Arlene Walsh. Full of texture and depth, this is a fun applique project that is embellished with plain and metallic floss for fabulous impact. Choose greens, purples, browns, and grays to evoke the real image of desert life overtaking man’s boundaries. This is one of our favorite pieces from Arlene that makes us want to reach out and pick the fruit.
