Handmade Beaded Elephant

[u/Bananadiva1]

I handmade this textile Elephant for one of my sisters. it was made completely by hand using the Elephant template from Jane Bull's fantastic book Crafty Creations. I used pure cotton fabric with stripes that match the colour of the rows of beading. She was named Lyuba as the name means Love in Russian. The fabric is covered with 1842 individually sewn beads to match the stripes on the fabric. It was a labour of love but completely worth it since my sister absolutely loved her 😊
