LIONS AND TIGERS AND ...

This is an example of one artist's work at the Las Olas Art Festival. These animals are all made from sisal. They are more beautiful in person than a photo. I thought the likenesses were incredible. Don't get too close, as the sign says, "Don't pet." View other contributions to MY WORLD TUESDAY here.
