| My cuddly red Indian elephant tea pot cosy :) |
As with all my cosies, she was worked HARD and shrunk as far as she would go.
 |
| Blocked and left to dry. I'd already filled her trunk with wool fibre to give it some plumpness |
 |
| When dry I filled the head with wool fibre to keep it firm (and sealed the fibre in).. added a couple of nice glass bead eyes. Then embroidered a detached buttonhole stitch all the way around the trappings |
 |
| This Nellie is going to have to stay! :) I've put her in my shop as a made to order though.. and I've just had a request for a pair made into door stoppers :) |
 |
| The silk worked beautifully for the head-dress and blanket |
 |
| As you can see, Nelliephant was born on a week that I was completely fixated by RED |

Perfect combination of colours and fabric! There's nothing like a good thick tea cosey to keep the tea hot...love it! Thanks for the play by play!
Thanks Kerry :) I need to work on some tiny cosies for my one-cup herbal teas now

So petty elephant. Beautiful red color and Indian style. Thanks for your comment on my posts. Wile you're reading it, I was also reading your posts of leather soles stitching tips as I just made one pair of nuno felt slippers. Your tutorials are great. Thanks for sharing..
Thanks Terrie :)
Good luck with the soles, hope the pages help. I look forward to seeing your slippers xx
