Zebra failure
It was meant to be a pattern of 4 zebras. I batiked the zebras and dyed the cloth a warm madder dye. Then I hesitated. I decided it would be easier to block print the stripes and hair on. Unfortunately, the hair on the end of the tail didn't fall where it should on every one. Therefore, the look like they are relieving themselves. I can't send this one in.

I do see what you mean, but the zeebs are pretty sweet!

It's lovely anyway, and the mistake is quite funny!

From far away, this pattern looks sort of baroque and scrolly. I was totally surprised that it was zebras up close. Very cool. Too bad about the unhappy accident. :(

LOL on the "mistake".
It might prove tedious but you could restore the design by hand painting a black line ( a stripey line?) to connect the tail puff to the rear end. Hope you haven't tossed the fabric.
From a distance this looked like a woven design, sort of US Southwest.
