Bristol Zoo WOW Gorillas project commemorates Bristol Zoo Gardens' 175th birthday. This blog is about Frances Cony's design ENDANGERED PJs. Her gorilla Bert is wearing pyjamas decorated with endangered animals. The 60 gorillas (63 now with the addition of Doris,Rafiki & King Kong Merrily on High) were around Bristol from 6 July - 7 September. 20 were at Queens Walk, More London from 16-23 September. ENDANGERED PJs was on the Bristol-Bath cyclepath at Bitton Station.
Frances thanks Mama Bear's Day Nursery for sponsoring her gorilla, and Burges Salmon who bought him at The Auction on 29 September 2011 for £6 500. I think he has gone to a good home!
I want a set of Jim-Jams just like this!
ReplyDeleteGorilla size would probably fit me too :o)
Baby gorillas' pyjamas may be ok. Not that I'm going to paint a baby gorilla too. Bert's a LOT bigger than you.
ReplyDeleteNadine apparently wants some too. I said she'd have to make her own.
Talking baby gorillas: 5 of the mini gorillas, about a 100 (I think) of which have been decorated by local schools, arrived at the A Bond today. They are really sweet!
