I wanted to create a grayscale drawing of a lion but i couldn't resist giving him piercing gold eyes. To me this design gives the feeling of aged wisdom in the feline world. The challenge of this kind of drawing is creating depth without the use of color. Other than the gold, there are only 4 colors - Black, White and two shades of gray. If you want him in more natural colors, you could substitute two golden browns for the two grays. I

This beautiful young woman, torn between the modern world and her heritage looks wary and fearful. She seeks help from her totem - the Warrior Cougar -- for decisiveness to choose the right path for her life. The female Cougar is known for her awareness and ability to plan out the best way to proceed.
While some Native American peoples dreaded and greatly feared the Cougars (Mountain Lion, Puma ), some embraced them as their totems.

There are only 60 Amur Leopards. But in 2007 there were only 30! They live in the Far Eastern Russian forests. They have very thick long coats to live in the cold climate. They are up to 105 pounds and can run at 37 miles per hour. Conservationists are enthusiastic that they can be saved from extinction since there were less than 40 Amur Tigers in the 1940s and they now number between 405 - 500 individuals. Hopefully the Amur Leopard will be as successful. See also Endangered Species - Amur Leopard
You will also receive the tote bag instructions from the Endangered Species - Sumatran Elephant Set.

The Amur or Siberian Tiger is the largest of all the big cats. There are currently 400 - 500 in the wild. At one point only 20 -30 existed. Conservation efforts have helped to bring them back. They live mostly along the Amur River in Russia. Did you know that every Tiger has it's own unique pattern of stripes? And only Bengal Tigers can have a mutation that makes them white.
This set is designed to be stitched on one piece of fabric. The sections *mesh together* to hide seam lines. The sample I did below was done with the individual Medium size designs. Full instructions included.

Tigers are one of the few cats that love water. You will find them in places with dense vegetation and access to water. Though avid swimmers, they don't like to get their eyes wet and will often enter water backwards. A tiger's stripes are like our fingerprints and the pattern is unique to each animal.
This tiger is cautiously wading through a small stream probably in search of prey. The designs are stitched on black fabric with some of the fabric showing in the finished picture. It could also be done on a dark green batik perhaps mottled with brown.

Fred's cats always seem to be peering right at you and this Cheetah is no exception. This is designed to be stitched on black fabric - the black background is fabric, not embroidery. As I am just looking at him, I can picture him stitched on a shirt or jacket front or back, with the straight side going along a seam....something a little different! You could even stitch him in squares, sew them together, fuse a piece of fabric to the back and cut out the cat. You could then use him as an appliqué. If you trimmed the straight side a little to make it rounder, you could place him anywhere! Something to give you an idea for other uses for some of Fred's cats.

White Tigers are not a separate species, but members of the Siberian or Bengal Tigers that have received a recessive gene from both parents. They are not Albinos as they have stripes, pink noses and blue, green or amber eyes. There are seldom any found in the wild and are mostly bred in captivity. Mohan, meaning *Enchantress* was the father of all White Bengals in captivity. He was found in Bandhavgarh and housed in the Maharajah's palace. One of his offspring was presented to President Eisenhower in 1960.
