The Elephant in the Room

Hello Bloggers,

I hope the weather is nicer where you are, it is very dismal here, but I am not in danger of being flooded which makes me luckier than many in the North of England.

Today's card is one of the samples I made for Paul Church's last show - I thought I'd better get it blogged before his next show (Sunday 13th)

It features an elephant stencil and a trellis stencil which were in a set together on the TV

I attached the elephant stencil to a pice of card, drew all round it then removed the stencil and set about adding my pattern with a fine black pen.  I used a zentangle called Diva Dance for most of it.

Once finished, I put the trellis stencil over the top and brushed ink round the edges.

If you follow me on facebook, you will probably know I have a bit of a thing about the way elephants are 'trained' (tortured is the truth!!) to perform for the entertainment of humans - I am not going to go on about it here, just to say that if you or anyone you know is going to Asia and are considering any form of tourist attraction that features elephants, please do your research first. There are some wonderful places which put the welfare of the elephant first and there are some hideous places where they are thought of pretty much like a machine with no thought for their welfare at all - choose wisely!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend
Thanks for popping in

    This is beautiful Janet. You are so patient to be able to do the Zentangle and it always looks lovely.
    It's pretty dreary in this part of Norfolk too but I'm sorting out Christmas newsletters and cards so it doesn't feel as thought I'm wasting a day. x
