Penguins in Sweaters

Another double layout done and dusted thanks to 'Double Take' hosted by Nic Howard and May Flume.

Double Take (Week 3 - Sketch 3)

And here is my take called 'Penguins in Sweaters'

Journaling says......How can you save a penguin from an oil spill?

Knit him a sweater!

Last week, a New Zealand yarn store put out a request for

knitters of the world to unite and put together "penguin

jumpers" for the birds affected by the ongoing oil spill in

Northern New Zealand, …they were soon flooded

with little sweaters. The sweaters serve a dual purpose of

keeping the penguins warm until rescuers clean them and

preventing the birds from cleaning themselves while they

are coated with poisonous oil. Also, "The oil makes it

difficult for them to fly and there's a real risk they will

ingest the oil when they preen, or pass it into their chicks.

The oil spill, which began after a cargo ship ran aground

on October 5, has already left 1,300 birds dead and already

cost New Zealand $3.2 million for cleanup.

I also added a piece of knitting for texture :)

I also named them......
1) Miffy
2) Eric and Pam (from Twighlight)
3) Jake
4) Shuffles
5) Judith
6) Sid and Marge
7) Piccolo
and 8) Puddles
