As it is Christmas holidays this week I have had to be super organised. I actually had 3 trys at this elephant, in the end I took part of the design I had seen in a photo and then had a go in my journal and ended up drawing the design directly onto the fabric free hand from my imagination.
I have used a piece of batik fabric for the background, cotton for the decoration and poly-cotton for the body. I used poly-cotton so that when I used a moderately hot iron on it it would crinkle. Not as much as I would have liked but not bad. I used a combination of pencils and pens for the drawings . The threads were selected for colour, I don't have that big of a collection as most of my sewing is garment construction.
