A New Elephant



A New Elephant

Hello, just thought I would pop on to show my new creation. Little Libby is the 3rd miniature elephant I have made. Apple Blossom was the first I made in spring and then Fleur, the second one was born. I tweaked the pattern a little each time and think I now have it how I wanted it to look and Libby is my favorite of them all. I knew she was going to be a girl before I started her. Most of my bears and animals are boys. I do try to make a few girls but sometimes when I dress them they look at me like thunder and demand the girls clothes off immediately. It's difficult with some bears though to decide what sex they are until you start to accessorise the bears, most times they only ask for a nice matching bow and other times - well I get carried away and one of my favorite parts of making the bear is finding the right accessory at the end. Libby has decided to go on to Ebay this week to look for a new Mum or Dad.
