Rainbow Elephants

More Elephants. Can't promise there won't be more at some point.

They emanate a deep sense of calm and wisdom don't they. Whether they are actually wise who knows, but if life is about our skill in styling it out, they certainly do.

Feng Shui has a lot to say about Elephant art placement in the home for good luck and prospertiy. Feng Shui tends to have a lot to say about most things. Apparently, in Chinese culture a kneeling elephant shown from the front represents prosperity because...how to put this...the pose resembles a person evacuating his bowels on the loo.

..Don't ask, I have no idea.

I think any art that is enjoyed creates good vibes in the home. Simple.

Elephant Wisdom

Elephants tie in first place with horses as my favourite animals. Although the duck billed platypus does deserve an honourable mention. They look like a combo of the left over parts after all the other animals have been made. Plus they produce both eggs and milk so can make their own custard.

So, here is the latest in the AnimalTalk series. And don't worry, I'm sure Raccoon-Lizards don't really exist, and in any case, volcanoes are really hard to get out of.

The Gift Box

Wolves look intimidating, but also as if someone has knitted them, so it's confusing.

When I was young we had an old english sheepdog - all chunky knit, no threat. Emma was lovely, she used to try and copy our smiles. One very hot day, I got home to find that mother had given her a haircut. I found poor Em hiding under the table, staring out at me with a look between embarrassment and mortification. It was as if someone had taken a bucket load of hallucinogenics and drawn the curtains before picking up the scissors.
