Indian Elephant
helloSIZE: 6.5” x 5.5” x 10”
helloI made this elephant, which is a popular symbol of my Indian heritage, using an advanced technique. The entire body was crocheted as one continuous piece, rather than as separate pieces that I stitched together. I used crochet chains to divide the underside of the body into four sections onto which the legs could be crocheted directly.
helloI chose rich, teal velvet to complement the brown elephant body. Using gold jewelry and lace, I created traditional Indian motifs. Bells attached to the edge of the velvet fabric and gold embellishments to the head of the elephant complete the look.
