I'm once again joining Rike at Rike's Art this month's host at Art Journal Journey with her theme Animals A to Z. I think you can tell I love this theme.
Today it's time to meet this adorable animal named
Ziggy.
Ziggy was abandoned
and left to fend for himself before he was rescued. I've never heard of a Zonkey before, which is a cross between a donkey and a zebra, but he is such a pretty animal, I am so thankful he was rescued and now lives with his donkey "cousins."
It may seem like I'm cheating on this page, but I found it in a calendar of rescued animals. The only thing I did was glue the entire calendar page to my large art journal and cut out the the title and facts about Ziggy. He was such a gentle looking and unique animal, I simply couldn't leave him out this month in which animals are showcased.I appreciate you joining me today at Art Journal Journey. I am very grateful for your continued support of my art, minimal as it may have been today! Thank you beyond words.

I've never seen a 'Zonkey' before! Ziggy is gorgeous Elizabeth, with hid stripy leggings.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend,

Ziggy looks so cute with his stripes 😁. I've never heard of a Zonkey before either, that's such a fun name, isn't it (grin!). Happy Weekend! J 😊
A new animal to me as well, but I am so pleased he was rescued and being looked after. Ziggy looks adorable and it is good to see him saved in your journal.

Ziggy is sweet, and I like his striped stockings.
Your page may be simple but so pleased that Ziggy the Zonkey is here! Enjoy your weekend- we have an arctic blast on the way but there is already a biting wind today! Chrisx
Ziggy is adorable! So glad that this Zonkey (never heard or seen one before) was rescued and lives now in peace with his donkey family - they also look happy to have Ziggy as gentle companion. Donkeys are very clever I read once.
I appreciate you joining us again at Art Journal Journey with this fabulous story of Ziggy!
Wish you a happy weekend! Rike xx
Ziggy has the sweetest face. I am glad he was rescued too. Some animals have such hard lives-and that makes me so sad. I have never heard of zonkey but I do know that horses, donkeys and zebras are so closely related they can interbreed. I have also heard zebras are hard to manage that's why they are not domesticated. So I wonder if Ziggy was from a wild zebra or not. Just seems kind of a weird for a zebra and donkey to meet-unless he lives in Arica. Anyhow, I really digress. Love your page today and meeting Ziggy too. Happy Saturday. Hugs-Erika
Ziggy is adorable I can not imagine someone abandoning him Thanks for sharing
Beautiful animal. And he looks like he has a sweet disposition.
I don't remember hearing of them before! Cheating? I can't see it. Art is made of individual choices, and I like yours :)
What a lovely animal! Perfect for your theme.
What a great way to focus on Ziggy, who is absolutely adorable! Hugs...RO
Glad you placed Ziggy in a place of honour. I love that
I've never heard of a zonkey before either, but I suppose it makes sense. Ziggy is pretty darned cute and I'm glad you featured him.
Thanks for coming by the Gypsy. I remember when you had water. Mine wasn't nearly so bad as yours -- I was downstairs when it started to come in and could get on it right away. Good thing. Others weren't so lucky~
