The Etsy shop has been busy and I'm pleased to say that I've not got into any mischief for a week or three!!! Well nothing I’m admitting to!!
"Predominate superstitions in Western cultures indicate that the trunk of an ornamental elephant should always be facing upwards and in Eastern cultures it should be facing downwards for it to bring good fortune on the house in which it resides."
As there was no real consensus of opinion I’ll go with ‘up, down, turn it all around’!!!
This is what I came up with and I must admit I ‘fiddled’ with the original pattern a little to get (I hope) a more handsome hephalump with his trunk facing upwards!!!

Goodness, I've never heard the trunk story before.
I’ve heard of the trunk up preference too. A friend visited Thailand and brought back an elephant for me, full of good luck!
Interesting information. I think it's a cute elephant!! :)
