Default Elephant Pattern

Does anyone have an elephant pattern. I am scheduled to go on a course the second week in July and want to do an elephant. Thanks.

Wasn't there an issue of WCI not too long ago that had an elephant pattern?

I wouldn't bother getting the pattern from Hi_Ho, unless you really want to get plastered.








Never mind...

Likewise, I've got 2-3 patterns of elephants if you'll pm me with your mailing adress, I'll dig them out of the file.
