Her medium is embroidery, but with an added enhancement. All of her work is done entirely freehand, from her own designs, with NO pattern. None. Take a look at some of her work, and tell me that she is an exceptional artist and designer. https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1946493837263724725?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1943241387815637055?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Breathtaking! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1938901834745168224?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Mind-blowing! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1936144529330938180?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1934953513366569397?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Joyful relaxation https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1933533528987480153?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Lovely …

This article appears on the Web Site HotAir.com. Its subject is the fact that car-shipping companies are increasingly avoiding ocean shipping of electric vehicles.
