"Now That's a Horse of a Different Color"

It's okay. I'm laughing, too!!

What can I say? I took a cotton batting class at Castle in the Air about a year and a half ago with Colleen. Let's just say, now I know why hand made ornaments of this genre are pricey. This was the result of three hours work. Three hours! Check out the proportion of the legs to the body. Ha!

I don't know why he's holding party streamers. He'd probably like to waving a white flag saying, "I quit! Get this orange vest off me!"

Not even a crepe paper hat with Dresdens can save this party animal. Maybe if I had added a crepe paper collar.....

I happen to think he has a certain charm about him. He may not look like the other Zebras entirely BUT he is so secure in himself he doesn't care. In fact that's what makes him beautiful.

I thought he was adorable.. he looks like an ex boyfriend of mine. Proportianally speaking.. HAhahahahahahahaaaa. But your Zebra is wayyy cuter. He is a doll (I meant that as he is cute, but yes, he is a doll too haa)! xxxooo

Aww, I lurve the Zebra-on-crack!! He reminds me of me with one too many Long Island Ice Teas, heh heh!

Give him a break! He's having a hard enough time trying to decide if he is black with white stripes or white with black stripes!

Colleen- do a post with your tiger- he's even funnier!!

[colleen]

OMG...what a fun day we had. Remember all the white paint? Ok...but in your defense...you didn't pick the zebra...that's what you got.

I'll bet my tiger could eat your zebra!!

[Edgar and Edgar]

Don't know why but I just left a comment but it didn't go through, so please forgive me if it does and you have to read this two times. Your Zebra is a festive boy and I happen to like his little spirit very much.
Miss Maddie has a point. Perhaps he may look nice in a little ball gown. I'll never tell he's a cross-dresser.

[rochambeau]

He's a cute little party animal! I really like him and hope he doesn't read this post. Miss Maddie has an interesting idea. Maybe you can dress him in a ball gown. I'd never tell he's a cross-dresser. ;-)

[cd&m]

He's brilliant in nhis own way!

[Miss Maddie's]

How about a gender change.If you make it into a girl zebra you could cover those little legs with a billowing skirt.Just a thought.
It does show how much all these trial and errors have advanced your technique to the remarkable level that it is at today!
There is something very circus like about him though. Susan
