Fran Coker used a technique of fabric and decoupage to cover the flying American White pelican sculpture. She chose traditional quilt patterns of pioneer themes: Birds in the Air, Lady in the Lake, Log Cabin, Rail Fence, Nine Patch and Oregon Trail. Each piece of fabric was individually applied, and it took over 80 hours of detailed application created from her originally designed, geometrically intricate computer artwork for the 3-D pelican statue.
