I have always had a 'thing' about elephants, but never collected them - I collected baroque angels for a while - the sort you can put on the wall they are now resting somewhere - never to see daylight again - I now think they are trashy, but they looked perfectly o.k. when I had them on one wall of a dining room
As far as projects go: I have done so much - was entertainment officer at an ethnic club; - made stage decorations - one over-large size Johann Strauss for a New Years Eve decorations - well he was somewhat flat, as he was stuck to a back-drop - never flat in real life haha - still have a basket of artificial flower left-overs from the 33 chaplets i once made for a spring festival - I remember making those huge flowers from crepe paper many years ago - devised a hobby horse, all my own design, for my children - still have it - needs freshening up - made lots of stuffed dolls, big and little - sold quite a few.
Not so interested now - have had a great dress sitting in a basket in the attic for 2 years now, waiting for the finishing touches - maybe this week . . . . but no 'real' art work like you seem to be making, Parsifal! Good fun, though Taurisk
