Superb work executed on natural silk

The three-dimensional effects are achieved through flat-stitch embroidery worked in different directions to play with the sheen of the silk
The scene is rendered with extreme finesse
The colors are still very vibrant
The background is painted in watercolor
The waters of the Jordan River are embroidered with very fine silk threads to create a translucent effect
