APRIL THE GIRAFFE

Hi folks! Today I'd like to share with you an art journal page featuring the one and only April!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard about (or been obsessively watching!) April, the pregnant giraffe at Animal Adventure Park near Harpursville, New York in the US!
                            
#AprilsViewCrew Art Journal Page by Sam Lewis AKA The Crippled Crafter.
                         
I've loved watching her and her mate Oliver as she prepares to bring a baby giraffe into the world!

                      
I hand drew and coloured April myself, and tried to approximate her markings too!
