The elephant isn't as bright as the giraffe as the giraffe was orange & yellow. But he still has his bright war paint on. I'm not sure if he is in disguise or going to a fancy dress jungle party or what. But it was quite fun to stitch again though the swirls on his ear got really difficult to put the last row of swirl in. It took a couple of days for my fingers to recover from that. I really enjoy the fill stitching. It's quite fun playing with the shape in the picture. The metallic stitching is not so fun but it needs it for the sparkle. Metallic thread is a pain but pretty.
Once again the elephant is finished in a 6" hoop. Below is a close up of Elephant.
So there you go. That's what else I have been doing this week, inbetween blocks. I will try not to work on the zebra for a few days & get some other stuff done first. These are a bit addictive. I need to get some more fabric to do another giraffe though. The other one is on his way to a new zoo. lol I'm sure he will be very happy there.

really cute. I agree about the metalic thread, it is very slow but quite challeging

Oh, how lovely! It's a really intriguing idea, and the colours are just beautiful.
I put metallic sewing thread through my machine for the first time this weekend. It wasn't a total disaster, but it's definitely going to take some getting used to. Worth the effort, though, especially looking at your lovely finished effect!
Oh wow ! It is lovely !!!
