when i stepped back to examine what had been needled into existence, an overly cheerful little tusker danced through with whispers of promised flowers tossed into the sky and scattering the grassy ground around him!
in the snippets of time i've managed to grab between shifts, i've found a new friend. a happy little friend. with very large tusks and a penchant for dancing in the moonlight!
it will be fun stitching him down and embroidering in the flying flowers...

Oddly the night before the super moon was to appear, I took a photo of the moon because it was so bright.
ReplyDeleteI have learned a few things in my years on earth...take media hype with a grain of salt, and never, never make too much of a good thing...you might disappoint someone.
I am loving your elephant series...this one with the moons eye view, is such fun. Look forward to seeing the final result.
What a cool elephant!!!!! Does he moon too? tusk, tusk
ReplyDeleteBTW, I had the "lion" washed and tamed (ready for your arrival LOL.... I mean, ROAR!!!!! Check out the new post:)

Those ARE quite the pair of tusks! I thought of you last night when my fortune cookie was completely empty, not blank, but no little paper at all.
ReplyDeleteI wondered, but then decided to think of it as the "lucky" one. I'll write my own fortune, maybe its this way partly anyway....
I love your new pachyderm. It made me smile and that is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSO happy! Makes me want to play elephant. When we were kids we put one hand out straight in front of our face and the other bent on top and ran around making elephant noises. Remember? Before we cared what "everybody" thought??? LOVE IT!
