Hi guys! Deciding about the new elephant for March/April 2021. Here are the options. I will decide myself, but I'd love to hear your comments
The State Elephant of Dewas Junior. Behind Dewas Senior and Alwar. Beside Tonk. In front of Samthar and Sirohi. The guys standing on the sides are always an appeal to me.
The State Elephant of Rampur. Behind Hill Tippera and Jind, beside Kapurthala and in front of Benares and Sirmur. One of my favorites: look at that elephant clothes pattern!!!
The State Elephant of Hill Tippera. Behind Cooch Behar and Nabha, beside Jind, in front of Rampur and Kapurthala. The other favorite: that pole hanging at the side of the howda is a ladder. Such a beautiful design! And the howda is exquisite.
The State Elephant of Cooch Behar. Behind Sikkim and Bahawalpur, beside Nabha and in front of Hill Tippera and Jind. I love the maharaja character in this one. He is always in a good mood
I will be deciding this month. they are all close to each other, and I will end up making them all. It's just the order that I have to decide.
I hope you like the choices,
Ana

Hello everyone,
I fully apologize for this absence. I have been so busy with the painting, sculpting and a couple of special projects that are taking me a lot of time. Sorry again.
I don't have any more newspaper articles to post. The remaining ones are repetitions of articles and images posted by other newspapers so there's no point on showing the same.
I should have announced my decision about the new elephant since I have been working on it for several weeks now. It will be the State Elephant of Hill Tippera. It is stunningly beautiful and will make a great addition to the Delhi Durbar line.
I also wanted to show you a few images. I've been buying a few stereoviews through ebay and I took some photos of them to share with you. I had already seen them all, and I had the digital images of all of them, shared from a stereos collector very good friend. But I got the chance to buy them for myself so I went ahead. They are not expensive, they go from $6 to $8 each. You can even get a bargain for $20 for 4 stereoviews. Great.
Here they are:
Main Procession: Samthar elephant, followed by Charkkhari and Rajgharh.
Main Procession again, at the end of Chandni Chawk you can see Dewas Senior and Alwar in front.
Same spot, the Duke's elephant
More in the next post.

The end of the Main Procession from behind, turning from Khas road.
A view from the Review
Two elephants posing. Sorry for the light in the middle of the image. The stereos are curved, so it was not easy to take photos of them.
Two details of the same stereoview. Look at the amazing detail of the decoration on the elephants' heads, the intricate detail of the ears. Exquisite. I loved this one
I'll be in touch soon with pictures of the making process of the new elephant.
Stay safe,
Ana
