A is for Antelope.. Pinterested?

Firstly I have to bring Pinterest to the attention of anyone reading this! I only really found out about it since the website appeared in my stats a couple of times, I followed it and it turned out Australian artist Michelle Knowles had uploaded an image of mine under her Art 'pinboard'. I took this as a great compliment as I'm a huge fan of Knowles and her shamanic themes so then decided to request the invite for my own account. Once this was confirmed I quickly became addicted so I urge you to set one up too! So far I've created 'pinboards' under the themes of Headdress, Jewellery, Kingdom Animalia and Places & Spaces.




Now for the main subject, the umbrella term for many even-toed ungulate species: Antelope!
The first image below is a random find from Tumblr, no original source available.
