caro-rose-creations: Elephants
I really liked those elephants around the border of the Kantha Quilt yesterday, so I did <a href="http://dvd-copy-dvd-clone-dvd-burn-dvd-backup.tomp4.com"><strong>Backup DVD Movies</strong></a> a drawing of one to embroider. Here it is as a free download. Download Elephant I never meant it to happen, but I have collected a small herd of elephants over the years. Statues that is. They come from India, Thailand and Africa and some from various airports in south east asia when I didn't know what to buy as a gift. I also stitched a whole section of my 'The devil is in the detail' challenge that was based on elephants, here, here, here, and here. I saw this elephant in Rajestan, live, and this one painted on the wall of one of the hotels we visited. I have two painting on silk of elephants I bought in India as well. The other day reading Pam's blog and her video about the embroiderers of the Tambani project I remembered <a href="http://dvd-copy-dvd-clone-dvd-burn-dvd-backup.tomp4.com"><strong>Clone DVD Movies</strong></a> that I had bought 6 of these embroideries from Ina in Houston a few years ago. Amongst them was an embroidery of an African Elephant and the story that went with it. All the embroideries have stories from the Venda people of South Africa. Isn't he the most excellent elephant? Each embroidery comes with a copy of the story that the embroidery illustrates and a small card about the stitcher. I found this stitcher's story touching. It was only a few words but it showed her as a person of great resourcefulness and a great faith. You can buy these embroideries online at their website. After going back and reading some of the stories I see that I have to buy more embroideries, just to have the whole set for each story that is. They are very special and I intend to tell my grand children all the stories and also about the <a href="http://www.hotsalekey.com/Whole-Sales-Importers-Exporters.php?id=66"><strong>Beauty & Personal Care on sales</strong></a> women who stitched the pictures.
