zoo art

Last weekend the weather in Memphis was gorgeous (this past weekend, not so much!). We took advantage of it and went to the zoo. RJ had a wonderful time. I think his favorite thing was seeing the elephants. He kept saying "Yoo hoo, ell-yee-font, where are you?".  We bought a family membership, so we plan to go back often.

Feeding the giraffe!


Finally found the elephants!
Since April is almost over, I need to share the calender art for the month and it goes along perfectly with our trip to the zoo.


The zebra was stamped in white directly on to the tan paper. The elephant and lion were stamped onto white paper and then cut out and glued to the tan paper. I used a small paint brush to add the mane and feet to the lion and a small circle foam brush for the head. All of the other details were drawn in with a black marker. This is one of my favorite pages! Hope you like it!
