This was my second elephant. I found this amazing faux suede, intended for upholstery, and the texture looked like an elephant. I had to build a wire armature to support his trunk without him tipping off the wall. He sold very quickly - but I created a sewing pattern as I worked on him so I’ve been able to make more.
I used a pink crayon to get subtle contrast in his ear.
His trunk is supported with a wire armature that can be posed into any position. His tusks are make with a fleece fabric that has silver foil throughout.
