I Survived A Night At The Zoo

Tamworth District Scouts wanted a special badge to award to attendees of the first district sleepover. They were taking 100 children to Twycross Zoo to spend the night.
They already had a pretty good idea of what they wanted. It had to have a sleeping monkey on it.
Because I knew the badge would be either woven or embroidered I felt I had to keep the detail to a minimum. There was also the possibility there would be a t-shirt printed. I decided to create a larger image and cut out the badge shape from it.
They chose the green background to strengthen the connection with monkeys in the wild, and nature.
I was amazed at the amount of detail that came out in the finished badge. Next time I won't be so worried about not being able to incorporate small patterns and lines.
They wanted the badge to be a keepsake to remind the children that they had done something extraordinary. The client was very happy with the result.
 
 
 
Thank you for your time.
