The Ampal Creative T.A.C Osprey Strapback

The Osprey, the noble Sea / River Hawk.  There is an amazing illustration of the raptor, in the famous Audobon’s “Bird’s of America,” gracefully snatching a fish from the water, that inspired my drawing for the embroidery.

For the new version we used an English Dry Wax. It’s a modernized version of wax canvas with an updated blend of waxes that give it a lighter, “dry” feel compared to traditional wax canvas but retains all the water proof qualities. Made in Los Angeles, CA.
