One of their trips took them to an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, the Elephant Nature Park, about which she is telling us on her blog.
Dawn had impressed members of our old jewelry forum before with an elephant bangle. In an older Oldies but Goodies post I pointed out what a pity it was that the long WIP thread about this amazing bangle had been lost when the forum broke down.
I can still share these pictures, though.
There is more elephant jewelry in Dawn's shop and 15% of the proceeds go to the Elephant Nature Park!
I'm sure there will be more soon - or how about asking Dawn to make something for you?

P.S. I don't gain anything from these posts, I am only sharing what I love. Just making that clear ;-)
Dawn's work is always beautiful. I remember the thread about the elephant bangle; I visited it frequently to see the updates.
ReplyDeleteWe all did. I think it was the longest thread we had.
DeleteWOW, Cat! What a beautiful surprise to start my day - thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteEven though the WIP thread about the bangle was lost, I still have all of my photos and plan to do a series about the bangle on my blog; I just need to take the time to sit down and get to it.
And, you've reminded me that I also need to get busy and make more elephant jewelry to benefit the Elephant Nature Park. With over 1200 photos from our day at the sanctuary, I have plenty of material for new miniature paintings!
Thanks again, Cat, this is awesome!
Get painting, Dawn! :-D
