Jill,
Can you help me understand the bear and elephant.  I do not understand 
either one!
I would like to make some.

Can we start with the bear, please, Mommy!
If you can teach your daughter and the elderly, you can surely teach me, 
too!
These would be nice for kids or for key rings or cane toppers, depending how 
large they turn out to be!

Terry P.
Even Sophie wants one to play with!
