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.

BTW - good to see you back on the group!

I actually like it the way you've wrapped it, Vicki. The half-round looks
great around the elephant!

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

I would embellish the link a bit with some beads top and bottom.

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. Nice design!

no (it's a 'razorback') doesn't have a hole - that's why the wire
wrap. and only wrapping it once, means it falls out. if you see what
i mean . . . there are two of them, one for each side of the necklace.

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.

**grin** everyone always thinks he's an elephant - he's the Arkansas
"Razorback'.

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.
