Blue Indian Elephant

This blue elephant was stitched with five shades of blue and gold thread on bleached calico.

 

I found the pattern at www.flickr.com/photos/briancampbell/3013344222/in/set-721... so go and have a look at bcampbell_to for some lovely patterns.

 

I used french knots, chain stitch, back stitch and split stitch.

 

I love how the markings around the eyes give the elephant character.
