i need some help with this one
I would embellish the link a bit with some beads top and bottom. Not sure if
I like the wire wrapped around the elephant - is it necessary for structure or a design decsion on your part? I can't tell if the elephant has a whole running top to bottom or if the wire is holding it onto the looped wire part.

I actually like it the way you've wrapped it, Vicki. The half-round looks
great around the elephant! Carol in SLC See my new stuff: http://members.aol.com/carolinslc/mavisheart.jpg |

I was thinking this too. At the least, one bead below his belly.

Ah - I see now! Well, I think that the way you have it is fine, but do add
some beads or dangly things below his belly to dress him up.

Instead of the wire you could take the school colors in seedbeads and make a
harness or a centerbelt. Is there anyway to show the top of the razorback since everyone thinks it's a elephant. Susan W "Barbara Forbes-Lyons" wrote in message ...

I think that's due to the size of the ears and the fact that the snout turns up at the end... http://www.klaz.com/razorback.jpg - here's a logo, I know nowt about razorbacks but it looks like a sort of wild boar to me... |

I think whoever sold it to her has a wild imagination! It's so obviously an
elephant! if i didn't know it was a razorback [because she told me where/why she got them] i wouldn't know. i think SHE knows, and that's all she cares about - they're VERY stylized. and small. ~~ Sooz ------- ESBC Dr. Sooz's Bead Links http://airandearth.netfirms.com/soozlinkslist.html One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. ~ A.
