    Love him! Don't know how I can afford to feed him but I will take him if he doesn't like his new family.

    I think I'd give him sleepy eyes - not sad or happy, just sleepy and content.

    I think for a first time making a stuffie and with curves and whatnot, you did a fabulous job. They get easier after you make a few more.... but I think he's just stinking cute, quirks and all.

    I think you did a great job - he is very cute and should be smiling in spite of maybe his less-than-perfectness!

    You can easily make a tail for him in a few minutes. Take some embroidery floss in a similar color, separate it into three , braid a little tail and sew it on his behind. I think he is adorable.

    Of course....HAPPY! He HAS to have a crook in his trunk because it's good luck to have the trunk curved upwards and how else could you do it without a crook? Adorable!

    Only his eyes will show, his mouth will be hidden by his beautiful ears as it is under his trunk. Embroidery floss can easily be added for his tail. I think you will be surprised at how happy he will look with the addition of eyes and a tail. His legs look great and elephants have lots of wrinkles in their trunks just about where yours start its uplift.
