Week 8

 

This is my last elephant.  I do have another elephant design but this will be for embroidery and there is no way that I could complete it within the set time frame. 
This is the elephant that stands out side the pagoda.

 

I thought that he looked out of place and a bit fierce.
I’m expecting him to charge at me and trumpet.  I thought that he would be for more relaxed in a forest, with no people or any expectations.

So, that is how I drew him.  I also wanted to practice my free motion machine quilting, which are not good.  ( That is one of my resolutions this year, to improve my machine quilting skills.) The only time I have done any was in a workshop with Pam, scared me right off.    Sewing around shapes is a good way of practicing.  I appliqued him into the trees and drew on the features that were too small to stitch. 

Much more relaxed!
