The orange beads were my initial inspiration in choosing colors. I loved the idea of an Indian elephant with a beautiful beaded saddle blanket. The pattern came from Carolyn Vosburg Hall's book, "Sewing Tiny Toys". The legs are all movable. After a sad attempt at roller skates I opted for the beaded party hat which is a salute to Jennifer Murphy (in the latest issue of Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion the article on Jennifer showed an elephant with a party hat).

Since this little guy I have made another elephant, a kangaroo, a bat, a T-rex, a slug (my design) and am working on a unicorn.
