E is for Elephant

Scavenger Hunt 691 is alphabetical, which I am following except for the first lizard.  E is for elephant today.  I have the wire sculpture by Jenna Hestekin. https://www.thecozyred.com/  Jenna is so talented.  She makes the sculptures, paints, draws and writes.  All around wonderful artist.  She lives in Wisconsin so we haven't met but have been online friends for a long time.

Number 6, elephant - in a 7 x 10 inch watercolor sketchbook I bought in Michigan at an artist's studio.   


The sculpture was so cute.  I bought it for a present and liked it so much I kept it.  I did buy different one for my gift.  This sculpture is about 6 inches tall and 8 inches long.

Joan, thanks. If you get a chance look at her site and see the pigs. Her scratchboard pieces are amazing.

Wow your sketch Jo is just perfect and I love the sculpture. I can see why you would have wanted to keep it. Hope your week is good and that you are enjoying sun filled days. Hugs! P.S. Thank you for your kind words regarding my friend.

Debbie, thank you. I do like the elephant and made by a friend makes it special. Friends hold special memories different from family. Hope your sunny days have great memories, too.

I like the elephant, too. Jesse took a sculpture class in college. One of the first things they had to do was sculpt animals from wire. She did a zebra. By the way, she made the whole hundred in the HHH. She said it was on her "before 40" bucket list.

Bag Blog, Jesse is an amazing artist and bike rider!!! We are proud of her for that. Applause from all of us! And for the Zebra. Thank you on the elephant.
