Elephants Away!

I know the title doesn't make sense, LOL sometimes that the hardest part of the blog.  Figuring out the catchy title.  Maybe I am just over thinking that part....right?....Maybe?  LOL

Anyways, this week over at Every Inchie Monday the theme is Elephant! I thought after last weeks easy theme of Giraffe that I would have a harder time designing this week.  But I was surprised how quickly I came up with the design of the elephant rearing up his trunk.  It was the only way I was gonna get something on my inchie that would look like an elephant.  But I love him, he is a cutie!






In this inchie there are 4 colors of Delicas.  2 shades of grey, one ivory color and for the background I used a matte transparent orange.

Don't forget to fly on over to EIM and check out the other 'elephants in the room'.  LOL  sorry I couldn't help myself!  I would like to say hello and thank all the new Inchers that are here this year.  Have a blessed and creative week everyone.

    This is awesome. How long does this take you to do? It would take me forever. I also wondered do you plan on paper first? What a neat talent!

      Thanks Cathy, it takes me about 20-30 minutes to bead the inchie. I actually have a bead program called beadtool, I am able to pick out the stitch, size of beads and type of beads that I want to use and design what I want, I then print it out and work from there. Sometimes the designing can take time but i love all of it.

    Tina,
    Cute inchie. You know an elephant with raised trunk brings good luck. Cleverly done!
