Zebra Tea Party in Africa

Phew!!! I think I just made the last flight to Africa - I thought I was going to miss it!


This week Mothermark invited us all to come along to a teaparty/concert in Africa this week to help Mr & Mrs Zebralski tone down the wild ways of their aspiring rockstar teenager Zeke.


I'm hoping my Grevy Zebras (who swore to me that they are directly related to Zeke) will inspire them with their natural beauty and majesty to tone down his 'rock star' look a little bit while at the same time allowing him to find the space in the world that fits him!


This is an actual photo that I took at the Lewar Downs Wildlife Conservancy, at Lerai Tented Camps in Isiolo, Kenya when Kent and I were there on safari in 1998.


These are Grevy zebras - their stripes don't go around the whole body - they stop at the top of the belly which is white. There is another zebra called the Churchill zebra whose stripes do cover the whole body. I learned these little details from our guide, Joseph, on our trip!


I enlarged my photo 211% (didn't have a digital camera at the time so I just photocopied the print on my printer - Yikes!) and printed it on white cardstock - the card is a whopping 8 1/2 x 4 3/4. I stamped the sentiment directly on the cardstock. I didn't think it needed anything else added accept for the black framing panel.


I'll see you all soon at the Rock concert teaparty! If I'm late save some tea and music for me!!!!

Thanks for dropping by today!
