Tips for the Cloud Perch
The cloud is a cluster of white bobbles worked in a rounded mound, firm enough to hold the elephant. The elephant sits or lies on top with its trunk curled and ears relaxed. A few pastel stars hanging from chain stitches below the cloud turn this into a dreamy mobile-style piece.
