Thanks Flutterby

Should be getting a mind-blowing pic from Destroyer in a week or so!

Can't wait RP

It was a young one nan and it might be the same one you saw looking at the collar markings

Here are more pics of the same leopard







An embroidered version of the leopard



@Mods - I would like to donate embroidery work (not this leopard, already sold) for auction on the forum - all proceeds towards Timbi. Can we do this?

All done by hand Flutterby

Sharifa, that looks stunning, but can you explain "embroidered version".

Is this real embroidery work and what are the dimensions?

I take a photo and transfer it to material and then stitch it by hand to give it a 3D effect. It is all stitched with cotton and ribbons.



The leopard is off to Canada so I did not frame it but the fish eagle above is framed and once completed the dimensions can vary but the fish eagle is

53cm X 66cm

More Fish Eagle photos taken at the Weir

I turned the car engine off and freewheeled up to the elephant that was about 5 metres away from the weir .
