Thanks to readers Sigrun and Becca for suggesting that the eyes on this elephant hat were giving it the creepy quality that bothered me. And a special thanks to Sigrun, who suggested making the eyes look droopy by putting upper lids over the top of the eyes. I think the right eye might look a bit more angry than droopy, but I'll work a little more on that. And as Sigrun said, grandson won't be looking at the hat when he is wearing it!Also, for a funny story about parents' best intentions gone awry, read Sigrun's story in her comment on my last post. It's really cute - and funny!
