Well, the Elephant Parade in London is gathering steam and excitement, only 1 month until all the now 258 elephants will be on show somewhere in London on bank holiday 3rd May.
The Parade will be London's biggest ever public art event.
Kubella is now somewhere in London awaiting her final place, fingers crossed somewhere near the Thames that will show off her twinkling shoes made from mirror and thousands of carefully stuck mosaic tiles. A map of all the elephants should be released by the end of April.
In the meantime before all the wonderful 'elles' goes outside in London, Kubella is now the star of her very own video so kindly made by Cracking Media for You
After the elephants have completed their 2 month parade, they will all be sold at a glittering event at an auction at Sotherby's, which aims to raise £1 million benefitting 15 UK conservation charities working in Asia via The Elephant Family charity.
'Kubella' will mix among London's society, including the Duchess of York, Princess of Kent, Joanna Lumley, to name a few.
Goldie Hawn said:
"Asian elephants captured my heart years ago. Anyone who loves elephants, and i do, will love the Elephant Parade. It is not only the most beautiful, colourful and fun campaign, it holds the key to saving the majestic species from extinction. I am a proud PATRON OF ELEPHANT FAMILY; their hearts are in the right place, doing the good work. I urge everyone to support them by getting involved with Elephant Parade. What a magical adventure with a real purpose".
Many people of who know me, know I am simply mad about elephants and have in my lifetime, seen both African and Asian elephants. They are clever and wonderful animals who deserve to be safe in the wild.
This has been a wonderful community project, where I have met and worked with wonderful people, drank many, many cups of tea at Kube gallery and enjoyed the whole process. Let's hope Kubella raises a good amount for the charity and there has been suggestion that Kubella could come back to Poole to live out her days in a wonderful community. I am working on that one...watch this space! (Thanks to Penny, who stated the ball rolling by writing a lovely letter to Poole council!)
