attempt
After Stephanie's beautiful attempt at drawing (see also this post), I feel encouraged to post my first attempt. I saw this picture on a website and tried to draw it. I've never drawn anything before, so you can imagine I was pleased that one can tell it is actually an elephant...with a mohawk, but yes, an elephant.
Hill: i like the mohawk! it looks like ben's hair right now. he he he.
Ben:WHAT!!!
Gwen: totally cool.
Steph: Now THAT was original, Gwen. "It's so neat!" Really. We love it. Wish you could have been here for Chinese :)
Ben: Somebody should cut my hair...
...or the elephant's. ;)
BTW, where'd you find that photo?
Oh, I found it at a site that is supposed to help you learn how to draw step by step. So my achievement isn't that spectacular. I didn't trace it though. ;)
I wish I could be there eating chinese with you. Maybe I could get a haircut too. Oh and tea: earl grey, hot.

we had tea: ginger, hot.
And no haircuts.
Just wishful thinking.
And some molting.
I do think there was some molting.
"Lemme 'splain. No, no. Too long. Lemme sum up..."
There was *no* molting.
My words were misconstrued this evening a number of times.
I think at the time I was talking about blackberries...
Don't know how these things happen.
"Big Lady...."
That one wasn't intentional either.
Anyway.
There is much wisdom in enunciation.

Posted by: hill at July 16, 2004 11:15 PMok. splanation of the "molting" thing. i was half burried in blackberry bushes (thorns and all) when i heard an "ouch!" then followed right behind that was an "i'm molting!" which ben says he said "i'm ok" but i am positive that i heard molting. so there.

I distinctly heard a guffaw (or three) coming from the general direction of Gwendolyn. Demurely. Ha.
So JBo, any more attempts recently?
