Bonus: my african manimal family

As you may remember, my hubby and I have a bedroom in African look (a blogpost showing pictures: http://cherkoandco.blogspot.com/2009/08/our-room.html)

I wanted to do a series of 6 pictures that I will display in our room over the bookshelves.

I was trying to decide back and forth between pictures of each member of our family or of doing different african animals with focus on their distinctive markings. Then I suddenly thought it would be funny to combine the two!

So I have come up with this:

my daughter, the leopoard:

the original edited picture I had used:


my son, the elefant

original edited picture used:



my son, the zebra:

original edited picture used:


my son, the lion cub:

original edited picture:


my husband, the kudu:

and the original edited picture used:


me, the giraffe:

and the original edited picture used:


and the finished pictures how I want to frame them and line them up on the wall
