Out of Africa – Elephant design
Jul 18th
I started the Out of Africa wallhanging theme from Jemma and Alex’s photos of their honeymoon safari in Kenya.
This was the photgraph that prompted me to include the Elephant, that noble and ancient beast of the Kenyan grasslands, as they relaxed in a muddy pool.

Getting rid of the “bums and legs” while lengthening the picture gave me this
Elephant all alone
I created a “virtual” baby elephant to share the pool with its relative

The end result which will be the basis of the Elephant wallhanging from my Out of Africa series, now looks like this

Leonardo might recognise the lines ….. and I’m sure you all do too.

I am designing a series of quilted wallhangings based on animal pictures my daughter Jemma and her new husband Alex took whilst on their honeymoon in Kenya in 2008.
I shall show the design processes as they develop
Meanwhile – many congrats from us both on your first Anniversary
