Grandmother's Choice Week 4: Kansas Sunflower, and Wangari Maathai

A flower block is a good time to talk about Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan environmentalist.
She was the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Her passion and drive brought improvements not only in sustainability, but also women's rights.

This was a tough block, and I am not pleased with the result, so I've called a halt to this one.  If and when I finish the BOW, I'll re-evaluate if I want to redo this one or not.
