This was my original idea and I stuck with it, although in the beginning it was meant to be red, some randomly cut strips of orange put onto black, then some net over the top, randomly cut out! then some lovely shiva stcik work - they have been in the cupboard for ages and I must use them. Then at last I stitched very closely over the top, not entirely sure if stitching over the shiva stuck was a good idea but it gave a good effect.
A simple but powerful little piece, we went to Taronga zoo last week and saw real zebras, I nearly made another more realistic piece using a picture for reference, but his was my vsion of what zebras could look like. Most of my pieces are done from what I see in my mind not what is real.
So much trouble loading this little quilt! hopefuly today sees the computer behaving..

I dare say I like what's in your mind. Great coloring! Fun stitching. Well done!!!
A zebra that eats carrots only - quite obviously. Just gorgeous!
Has your Zebra been rolling in red dust? Love the 3D look, the lighter stripes just pop right out.
Did you start with that old joke: What is black and white and red all over? This quilt really deserves to be seen in close up as it is very textural. Really lovely.
p.s. a sunburnt zebra!
What a great piece. The orange color just pops off the quilt and I love the texture of the dark stripes.
