The Pink Elephant in the room

So a pink elephant is due to take residency in my room this summer...

I've always loved the saying  - The elephant in the room. A weird thing to love granted, but a very common problem with society.  

Dumbo was also a favourite childhood film of mine, and so this has influenced my desire to do this rather strange wall-art feature. This has links to the extended phrase: 'The pink elephant in the room'. The pink elephant being something a person sees when they hallucinate, due to alcohol or otherwise.

Due to the above and a very inspirational photograph I remember seeing when I was younger, of a silhouette of an elephant in front of a pink sunset, childhood nostalgia has created my project. 
Having this idea for years to have my own pink elephant in my bedroom, this summer my madness is going to be expressed on my chimney-breast wall.

Here is further inspiration produced on Pintrest:  


Keep following for the results! Pictures will appear as soon as complete! 

Hopefully this will further inspire me for a fashion project after as well.
