Something Special


Somebody will recognise this. :-)

This is a very special gift in two ways. One, the person who gave it to me is a very good friend, of long standing, and I treasure her friendship, secondly, when she found this gorgeous little elephant brooch, she looked on the back of it. There on the top right, was a copyright mark, and smack bang in the middle of that mark, were the initials JJ. It was made for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The elephant has two beautiful ruby red eyes. My favourite colour!!! This is one of my most treasured possessions..

  3. Sweet boy, and good drawing. Looks like he could use a spot of texture though, like the orange peel effect.

    Good friends think of each other, eh.

  8. I don't know how to orange peel either. It's not something I thought about putting on my people, yet I can see where the effect would be good for whisker stubble.

    So, thinking about it, perhaps a soft dull pencil and a stump? I'm thinking Lil' Annie Fanny outa come in here and tell us how-to since she did that fabulous orange in pastel. How 'bout it?
