Cape honeysuckle flowers (the skirt)
Cape honeysuckle is not a honeysuckle at all; it comes from southern Africa, where sunbirds hover at its orange tubes for nectar.
Orange blossoms stand for energy and playfulness.

Materials & framing
Printed and framed to order, ready to hang when it arrives. Printed on premium luster paper with rich color and fine detail, protected behind a clear acrylic front, and set in a solid wood frame: White (gallery white), Black (matte black) or Red Oak (warm wood).
Printed to order on thick matte paper, shipped rolled for your own frame. We use 189 gsm (10.3 mil) matte paper with a smooth, glare-free finish and archival inks. It ships rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube, may hold a slight curl, and flattens overnight under a book. It fits any standard frame of that size. Prefer it framed? Choose Framed above for a solid wood frame in White, Black or Red Oak.
Size & fit
Available in 8″×10″ and 16″×20″.
Hanging hardware is included. These measurements refer to the print size. The wood frame adds about 0.75″ on each side, so the framed piece is roughly 1.5″ wider and taller than the print.
For unframed prints, the selected size is the paper size and fits a standard frame of that size. A frame adds about 1 inch on each side.
The Story Behind the Artwork
“Every leaf, twig, petal, and seed becomes a brushstroke.”
This is the mischievous zebra who wondered whether, just for one day, it might be worth wearing a ruffled dress. It is part of my zebra series for a children's room. The skirt is made of Cape honeysuckle flowers and wilted pink hibiscus blooms, the curved line is a dried Tabebuia pod, and the little red and orange fruits are pyracantha berries.

The Botanicals Behind the Artwork
8 real botanicals composed the original artwork
Shirley arranged each leaf, pod, stem, and natural fiber by hand before photographing the finished composition.
Pink hibiscus blooms (the skirt)
Most hibiscus flowers open for only a single day, so the plant keeps making new ones all season long.
Pink blossoms mean joy and playfulness.
Dried banana peel (the stripes)
A banana plant is not a tree at all but the world's largest herb, and its peel turns dark as it dries, which is exactly what makes these stripes.
Banana, a staple food across Africa, stands for nourishment and playing all the way.
Orange hibiscus sun
Most hibiscus flowers open for only a single day, so the plant keeps making new ones all season long.
A hibiscus sun stands for warmth and delicate beauty.
Leaf-and-berry butterflies
Some butterflies have big spots on their wings that fool birds into thinking they are being watched.
Butterflies stand for change and lightness.
Pyracantha berries
Firethorn berries are tiny cousins of the apple, and blackbirds and thrushes strip the bushes bare in winter.
Berries signify abundance and cheer.
Small grey-green leaves
Grey-green leaves get their soft color from tiny hairs or a waxy coat that reflects strong sun and helps save water.
Grey-green leaves mean calm and quiet balance.
Grass blades and leaflets (the meadow)
Grass grows from its base rather than its tip, which is why it shrugs off being nibbled by zebras.
Grass means humble endurance and usefulness.
