To celebrate our love affair with our animal companions, Zeppa Studios
has designed an extensive and every growing line of fine gift items that feature
all kinds of Fur Children® as painted by M. K. Zeppa.
For over 20 years, Zeppa Studios has been designing and producing
unique and whimsical animal themed giftware and accessories featuring original
artwork by studio founder, M. K. Zeppa. M. K., (short for Melissa Kaye) a dog
fancier since birth, graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Honors from Wellesley College
and holds an MFA from Pratt Institute. Starting Zeppa Studios was the perfect
way to blend her love of animals and art and still make a living. She makes all of her products to order for
you in her Hawk Creek Farm Studio complex in Pearisburg, VA.
There is a huge array of beautiful and quite original Fur Children® painted designs—meant
to be celebrations of the breeds portrayed, not portraits.

250+ adult canine

Linen Weave Aprons in your Breed
Zeppa Studios has over 250 wonderful paintings of canine,
felines and equestrians. Now, they have been reproduced on
gorgeous linen weave aprons. And, we do mean gorgeous. We have
never seen such quality before. To make sure we were
justifyingly impressed, we sent a sample to Helen, one of our
wonderful foundation supporters.
 Shown
here with her lovely standard poodle and a similarly adorned
apron, this is what Helen said: "The winsome picture and quip
charmed me; the superb quality of the apron surprised me! For 10
years, I worked at one of the premier cookware stores, and I
have never seen apron fabric as soft and as impermeable as this
is. The quality is excellent. This apron is practical and
endearing and I love wearing it."
Got a pet loving chef in your life? Need a gift
for your favorite dog groomer? Look no further than these
pawsitively adorable chef aprons. Your favorite breed adorned
with a chef hat is irresistible.
They are made from a beautiful poly/cotton linen weave fabric
that prints and washes beautifully. They have an adjustable neck
strap and generously sized pocket which you can personalize. The
color is a pleasing beige, as seen in the photo of Helen with
her poodle. One
size fits most adults.
They have a generously sized pocket that
bears the humorous saying. "the chef is not responsible for dog
hair in the food" is the default. And they are machine washable
in warm water. These aprons are made to order, please allow up to 2 weeks for
delivery. Price: $39.95
