If you're asking why I made it, it's a long term experiment with a new material. If you're asking why I put a hole in it, it's because I had made other animals and had planned to put them together eventually. Ah, such dreams from a dreamer, that is me. :)
I took a pic of a beautiful hand-cut scene in a shadowbox mounting made from all different types of dried peels that I saw at an art show. Amazing. Good luck! Fun scrapbook embellishments, too!
