Be sure to obtain any business licenses that you may need for your city and state. Some tips to grow your business is to let your neighbors and friends know about your services, and also to place your business cards at area veterinarian offices; with permission of course.

Zebra Print Shirts

Here you will find a selection of zebra print animal shirts that you can purchase online. You can choose the different designs on the tshirt style and color of your choice.

Did you ever wonder what color if the black or the white part of the zebra is its real color? I did some research online, and found out that the black and white pattern is actually the zebra's fur. Underneath the fur, the skin of most zebras is black.

This first tshirt features an outline drawing of a zebra walking. The stripes and the body of the zebra are the same color. You can have some fun coloring in the stripes if you like, making your zebra any color that you like.

Did you know that no two zebra's are alike. I guess they're kind of like snowflakes, in that respect.

Are you feeling creative? Would you like to design your own zebra print shirt?
Here is an idea. Create a stencil first. Then place a sheet of cardboard between the two fabric layers. Paint in the design, with acrylic fabric paint or acrylic paint with a fabric textile medium added to it. Then carefully remove the stencil. Then you can add any outlines or touch ups. Let the paint dry, then remove the cardboard. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for heat setting the paint, if it is required.

Cute Pug Dog Painting Greeting Cards

I met my neighbor on one of my many walks through our neighborhood. Over time we exchanged greetings and then started chatting. I had my camera with me on one of my walks and asked her if I could take a picture of her dog, so that I could paint her. I also asked if she minded if I made money from it. She was fine with that.

I finished the painting and showed it to her; she really liked it and wanted it on some cards. We are splitting the cost so that it is a win win for both of us.

So here is the cute pug, pictured on summer themed greeting cards.

She didn't want any text so that they could be more versatile; however they can be customized with text if you like.

This little dog is so cute, and she looked so happy when I took her picture. She likes going for walks and she also likes the attention.

Here she is to give Grads some attention!

Koi Fish Designs on Shirts Puzzles and More

Koi fish are so interesting looking. I was inspired by some of them at a park that I had visited and decided to make these designs.

The ones that I saw were either a mix of orange and white or orange and black. The background of their swimming area was shades of green.

Since I wanted to paint a school of fish, I decided to group them together as if they were having a meeting - like in school.

Whether the kids are in school, or not, they would probably enjoy putting this puzzle together of fish in school.

You can choose from an 8 by 10 or 11 by 14 inch size.

Before I had painted in the background, I had taped in the fish with blue painter's tape; they turned out pretty cool. Here this abstract school of blue fish is printed on tee shirts.

Sparrow in Cherry Blossom Tree Plein-Air

I finally took the plunge and did a plain air drawing. I wanted to keep things simple so I opted for colored pencils and drawing paper. Perhaps some other time, I might try plein-air with paints.

I decided to go down town by the waterfront. I had planned on painting a duck or two; I've seen them down by the waterfront before. But that day, they weren't around.

While I ate my lunch on the deck of of the restaurant, I perused the sights to see what might be a good subject. There were people bicycling on the rail trail, and I gave that some thought. I cataloged general shapes of such in my mind.

The other thing that caught my attention was the sparrows flitting about. Some even came pretty close; one even perched on the railing near where I sat. I scanned his body and tried to keep the details in my mind. In a minute he flew away.

Ah, such is the venue when your subject has wings, Anyway, the sparrow won, and I commenced to drawing as much as I could from memory. I got the main part of his body done and some of the noticeable markings on the feathers. I knew I could do a computer search when I got home, or even hopefully have some of the sparrows that frequent my backyard to fill in as models.

As I continued to glance around I also noticed cherry blossom trees near by. Ah, that would be a nice compliment to help frame my feathered friend.

So this is what I came up with.

The first drawing is shown with a white background.

On this one, I added some blue sky with my computer air brush software. It gives it a kind of abstract sky affect.

Star Tortoise Info and Shirts

My family and I had gone to Dublin, Ohio for vacation one year. While there, we went to the Columbus Zoo. I took along my camera for artistic inspiration and came upon this magnificent looking turtle. I took its picture and moved along.

Once home, I tried to identify this type of turtle. After much searching, I finally typed in tortoise instead of turtle, along with black, yellow, and the best word to describe the pattern on its back - star - and low and behold, I found its picture and its name. This animal is called a Star Tortoise. Here is a painting that I did that is printed on tee shirts.

Black and Yellow Star Tortoise Tshirts

by CherylsArt

Looks
The star pattern that I saw had raised areas, making the overall shell appear bumpy. However, some types of star tortoises have smooth backs.

Although called a Star Tortoise, the stars don't all look the same. What Star Tortoises have in common is the overall dark background with a yellow pattern. Some of the yellow patterns are more star shaped than others. Some even look more like a diamond.

On some Star Tortoises, the yellow markings are rather thin, and on others they are bold.

Habitat
The Star Tortoise lives in a habitat that is dry for at least three months out of the year.

The Star Tortoise lives in temperatures that range from 90 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the warmest area to about 80 degrees in the cooler area of its habitat. At night the temperature ranges in the low to mid 70s. They also like some vegetation to protect them from the mid-day sun.

Diet
The diet of the Star Tortoise may range from fruit and vegetables one part of the year, to grasses and decaying flesh another; both providing different vitamins and minerals for its sustained well being.

Cute Tuxedo Cat Shirt with Bow Tie

Are you looking for something that is tuxedo style, yet still casual, and also fun? Look no farther, me and my cat Muffin are here to help you out.

Muffin is our black and white tuxedo cat and she has so graciously posed for the photo that I took. I then painted her cheery likeness in pointillism style, and added a red bow tie to the mix. She looks quite handsome, don't you think.

Mother and Child Giraffes Products and Art

Most of my art up until now has been paintings and outline drawings. But I recently read a book that inspired me to try something new.

Mother and child giraffes drawing Cards
by CherylsArt

Can you tell what I did? Does it look like a painting? Actually it is a drawing. First I drew the outline of the bodies. Then I used Sharpie Markers to color in the base color. Then I used Prang Colored Pencils - to add depth and shading. Voila.

These cards with a mother and child giraffe are a great choice for Mother's day.

Here are the giraffes printed on tshirts; the mother and child can have the same design on their shirts.

Let me know what you think. Have you done any art in one medium that looks like it's been done in a different medium?

This giraffe design can easily be used for a mother and child painting activity. The drawing outline is printed on faux canvas; it dries quicked than stretched canvas. If you want a different foundation to paint on, you can go to the product page and then look for the option to, Transfer design to a product.

Sometimes you can see a baby fish swimming with its mother. You can see what I mean on this apron. These fish can be colored in with paint markers for a one of a kind tropical look, or they can be worn as is for a simple drawing design.
