Swap DUE date: OCT 18th, 2019
Number of participants: 27
Cards 3:3 or 5:5
Media: Open Media


Theme: black and white animals with some red on the card somewhere, Not all over, just a little will do. I like the joke what is black and white and red all over? A zebra/penguin with a sunburn. haha

Animals that come to mind, Zebras, penguins, pandas, orcas, skunks, some monkeys, some birds (magpies, woodpeckers), some dogs (Dalmatians), Holstein cows,some cats, some butterflies, some fish. , white tiger, snow leopard *insert your animal idea here. Animals need to be black and white, naturally. Not just animals we are creating in black and white mediums. Realistic or Whimsical themes are welcomed.

Or should the red be confined to the background or naturally occurring redness? Also are red accessories on animals acceptable or are we going for strict realism?

ANSWER
That is what I was kinda of thinking and expecting. a red heart, a red crown, a red flower a red bow, etc.
I was not thinking too realistic, at all.

*****Please skip spiders and snakes, as "that is not what it takes to love me"... sing along. I personally have no fear, but don't want to scare other players, who have true phobias of spiders and snakes.

Open media, Zentangles, collage, hand drawn, mixed media, and even photography. I will do my best to trade media for media and style for style, animal for animal.

I really appreciate your list of black and white animals, it is helpful when trying to figure images for the cards. Here are some others. Holstein cows, Dalmatians, magpies....still thinking of more....
 
Oooh....woodpeckers! They already have a little red on their heads!
 
CastleQueen,

How do you do that?
My post office charges 21 cents for Non Machinable.
 
FAB theme.
Although all my black and white and red all over childhkood jokes had to do with Nuns.
