Elephant Time

I sketched yesterday or the day before in the big sketchbook.  Elephant was the item.  We have a few elephants in yet another collection.  They come from an idea I got in Bolivia that I have mentioned before when I sketched them.  It was good luck to have three elephants; one you bought, one that was a gift and one you stole.  None of these are stolen, all gifts.  I have a wire elephant that I bought to give someone else and I liked it and kept it.  We might consider that stolen, yes??


Number 2, elephant - glass for two and stone for one.

I have an elephant that my aunt gave me. You are supposed to keep it pointed west for luck - so I have been told.

Bag Blog, ha, if I turned them west where they are sitting, we would look at their backsides. Ha.
Hope yours is lucky.

Never heard about keeping the elephants pointing west...just that it is bad luck to have them with their trunks hanging down. Fun sketches of the elephants.

Joan, never heard that about the trunks either. Those little carved ones have us in trouble as well as a wire one I didn't sketch. Ha. So we have a bit of a chance on the ones with the trunks up! Thanks for stopping by. Hi to Jerry. Hugs.
