“Heron On Watch” is a beautiful wall hanging depicting a grey heron on the lookout for his next catch.  He waits motionlessly and watches the water waiting patiently.  However, when he strikes he moves swiftly towards the water and scoops up his prey with his long, narrow, sharp beak.  Then, he flies off quickly to have his dinner.

The wall hanging demonstrates the beauty and features of this amazing bird.  We can observe his watchful eyes, his strong beak, his long neck,  and his still body.  In addition, his very long, thin legs can fold easily beneath him allowing the heron to sit.  In this manner, from this crouched position the bird is closer to its prey and is able to reach it easily.

Besides the grey heron itself, the water, the colourful lily pads and the surrounding greenery all contribute to the beauty of this wall hanging.  Additionally, the backing fabric with its green and blue flower mix coordinates wonderfully with the front of the hanging.  Hanging corners on the back allow for the insertion of a dowel (not included) for ease in hanging.

Most importantly, the quilting in light grey thread simulates ripples in the water and gives the hanging an  authentic look.

The fabric consists of 100% quilting cotton.  The wadding is a mix of 80%cotton/20% polyester.  The “Heron On Watch” wall hanging measures 74 cm wide x 123 cm long.  Machine washable and tumble dryer safe.
