It started with making a card for my sis in law, who gave birth to her beautiful babe Georgie 4 weeks ago.
I LOVE elephants and of all the animals that roam the lands there is nothing that quite tugs on my heart strings than seeing mum and babe, trunk to tail, strolling around! :) But the community and support that exists among elephants is completely fascinating and the fact that an elephant carries her babe as it grows for 22 months is beyond my comprehension! 40 weeks was more than enough for me :)
So after trying black and white I of course had to give the old mixed media a bash..."shower of love" is what this one is called.
Then the sewing machine is never far behind! So these colourful elephants were made with little positive affirmations sewn on...to decorate a wee corner in the home needing a splash of colour. These will come with me to the craft fair in November I think.
So there you go!.....Its amazing what one little card will start :)
Everything is beautiful!! a great job!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! <3 :)
ReplyDeleteLovely! And you get so much work done so quickly, wow. I really like the first two drawings. You should create a series from them. So many possibilities.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Wow, I love ALL of these, but I do have a bit of a week spot for elephants. And it's great that just a card inspired all this, I love when that happens!

I love elephants too. Lately I have also been noticing owls as we have a family that come to our garage to hang out at night. I also love turtles.
