Elephant, Wrinkled Skin

Took a bit of noodling to get this stencil as I liked and what would be visible in cutting it out

 (Finding a silhouette and creating the lineage.) I love it when get to repeat a process to learn more about how it worked the first time and what I can do the next to do it a little differently but still keep the connection going...part of creating a series with our work..so many different ways to do it. 

I prepared the board, prepared the elephant and then on Monday afternoon or morning depending on how the day is to unfold I set out to create.  Not always do the Tack Down Tuesday piece work this way but there is an end goal.  For my Grandson to be's room if my daughter will accept them. (4) You see my adult children has grown up in a home of creative people and their creative each in their own ways, (I see it as there mother) and with the artwork I've produced over the years the see it and comment on it but they have their own likes and dislikes for décor in their homes and I totally respect that.

 (rambling a bit) 

 I took a quick look on line to see the environment of the African Elephants and then I dug through my box of coated papers and what came out is are these.  I stop questioning, I just do/create with them. Kind of like, there picked on and what should and how should I work with them, a problem to be solved and I'm usually up for the challenge. 

Each different but similar,  I seem to be gravitating towards that small black papers with the while line hitches in it.  I'll try to pull that through the whole series.
