two elephants (no tusks) – bare essentials

March 12, 2007

Dscn0010_5

I took off the tusks on the first elephant and I like him better – simpler. And I made him a twin.  I love how weighty these are – they have 2 ounce fishing weights inside and they sit so nicely. Fishing weights are awesome.  These two will be part of the set of toys that go to Beehive Co-Op in Atlanta.

    I’m seeing these (with those fabulous fishing weights) as book ends in a children’s room, surrounding books like Dr. Doolittle, Stuart Little, and other great kids’ books with animals. Love the simplicity.

    These are so wonderful – they have such presence.

    These are beautiful. I loved seeing in your earlier post how you developed them from idea to sketch to what we see before us now. Great stuff!
