We discovered him in Goa, India and I carried him home in my hand luggage. The Herd of Sheffield exhibition finishes in October so I will snap a few more but NOT all fifty eight of them - oh no!

However, as it's not suitable to have one of the real kind living with me - there is an elephant in the room - because I do have a colourful, ceramic, ornamental one that stands about 2-feet tall. I've had "Adu" since 1979 having been unable to resist him when I saw him in a shop at Peregian Beach shortly after we'd moved to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane. I made no ado upon purchasing Adu...it was love at first sight.<br /><br />I also have two wonderful, life-like pottery ones crafted by an elderly potter who also lived on the coast at the time. The glaze is dull, dark grey and coarse not dissimilar to an elephant's hide. Stunning craftsmanship. I couldn't resist them either. They're only about 5 to 6 inches tall. <br /><br />I love the Sheffield Herd and look forward to seeing more of them. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-55329644965059024132016-07-25T21:10:19.539+01:002016-07-25T21:10:19.539+01:00It is surprising that Red Deer didn't have fib...It is surprising that Red Deer didn't have fibreglass red deer instead of polar bears.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-81309459380618408662016-07-25T19:52:07.781+01:002016-07-25T19:52:07.781+01:00This seems to be a popular activity.
