Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika


Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika   - God bless Africa

You can take someone out of Africa, but the memories of wild life and blue skies will always remain. The big Five – Lion / Leopard / elephant /buffalo and the rhino will always stay imprinted in my tik tok brain. The longing will always remain...

Having grown up under the blue skies and love for nature it is no wonder I have a great passion for any animal print garment. Although artists can try and reproduce a picture or click a picture, it cannot compare to the real smell/existence of nature. The blue of the sky so deep it brings a lump to the throat. The natural friendliness of the country (well most of it)

Here is but  few canvas bags  I made with animals on them. The elephant in his  family circle, the big kitty cat leopard. What is more beautiful than that?

 The paws tread so softly in the long brown grass...ready for its prey...

The body blends slyly into its surrounding..

This reminds me of the elephants I saw close up behind a fence.....

With the speed of lightning it goes.....




Have a Happy, Lovely,
 Fun filled,  Relaxed Crafting weekend!
Have a wonderful safe weekend people and speak to you all again on Monday!

Happy Crafting!
Luvvies
