Leopards Lay in Wai-T(ee)



To help Brad get over his missing vintage tie(see http://recycledrepurposedrenewed.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/darling-have-you-seen-my-tie-long-t.html ) Penelope suggested that they spend some quality time together on African Safari. The plan was to get up close and personal with the Leopards of the Sahara.

"Sssshhhhh....don't look now Penelope, but you are a lot more up close and personal with the leopards than you think. Ummm if I was you I would stand perfectly still and I am sure that they will just go away!"
.......................................

Oh dear....Poor Penelope is in such peril. This is a plain grey toddler tee-size 3(see pic below) was purchased at a thrift store for $2.99. Plain and grey it needed an exciting adventure.....so off on African Safari with Penelope and Brad it went.

The leopards are cut out with pinking shears from left over furnishing fabric. Using pinking shears results in the leopards having realistic strands of fur.

See the sneaky leopards laying in wait in the grass? The grass is excess material from a 1970's dress that was cut down.

Thanks. It is kind of over the top(dramatic is a good word)but it is quirky and little Ol loves wearing the big cats.
