Can elephants dance the hula? I wondered as I considered options for new artwork to submit to the Bohemian Paradise Challenge on Spoonflower.
My last effort at a good Bohemian Paradise entry took a hairpin turn into so baby elephant cute, I felt it lost the Bohemian feel altogether.
I really needed to try again. Hmmm… Elephants are tropical, pop a lei and a wrap on one, and it might even look Bohemian. Bohemian elephants dancing…

Why elephants?
Well, I was already on a roll with the momma and baby elephant, so I thought, why not? And then–I thought about how elephants are strong and intelligent, and never forget anything. Elephants also usually seem to be having a good time. We can’t hear them, but I understand that when elephants hum, it’s quite a powerful thing. The vibrations–below the human threshold of hearing–can travel for miles.
I figured elephants would definitely want to party, and of course, they’re going to have a blast while still partying responsibly and keeping in touch with their parents. They’re great role models that way! You just have to accept that sometimes they do leave elephant-sized messes and, well–they may not do that great a job of cleaning up after themselves.
But they still look fantastic in soft, silky Hawaiian wraps.
