The 12 days of Christmas: elephant carving day 1

Not being overly religious, I have decided to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas in my own way, with the carving of an elephant.

We start of course with day 1.

This is a piece of lime wood. I started with nothing more than a sketch to give me the initial idea of where, within this block of wood, an elephant lies, waiting to be revealed.

  1. For unto you is born this day in a workshop in North Essex an Elephant, which is named Olifant. Happy Festivities!
