tine sparkles

I had posted this topic as a challenge for a different approach to create and afterwards it occurred to me that my beloved elephants also paint using their trunks.
My 'doodlefant' I dedicate in loving memory to Tina the elephant. I still get choked up even when just looking at her photo online (I still don't quite know how come), maybe you remember this post (another Playtime...what a coincidence?!) when I first wrote about her. I wished I had known her when she was in our Zoo here. It would have been here birthday  last Wednesday.

The little bird on Tina's head in my doodle keeps her company in a refreshing Spring rain fall. I thought of using brush and paint at first but my studio doesn't have enough work surface so I changed my mind to using my Copics instead  (click image to enlarge). Mind you I almost put my jaw out because they are square and rather awkward to hold.     
This little exercise has inspired me so much! I still have my dream of riding an elephant one day and how wonderful must it be to work with elephants and take care of them! It might be time for some elephant pendants!!

Thank you for stopping by!! xoxo
