Elephant Bookends Seen While Window Shopping
I was walking down Madison Avenue on one of my daily walks before "lockdown" and saw these elephant bookends in a store window. In 2013 I wanted a drawing challenge because I was bored with my apt. items - most of which were already drawn and painted. I love elephants and decided to draw them from photos and videos using every possible art medium I had in my supplies. I even did an Eric Carle type of collage with paper made from my Gelli Plate (http://www.paperandthreads.com/2013/02/elephant_experiments.php).
I loved the project and made both a photo book of my elephants and a zine. Now I am watching the San Diego Zoo Elephant Cam for pure pleasure during the pandemic solitude. (https://www.sdzsafaripark.org/elephant-cam)
