African Elephant wood carving

Description

Elephants are popular symbols of this and that, but this carving is just a symbol of an African Elephant. It is about 8x10.5x2 cm (3.2" x 4" x 1"), a nice size to hold in your hand.

I use knives and chisels, not a power carver, to finish shaping the basswood. This technique gives crisper details. It is sanded smooth, and an airbrush or watercolor brush used to apply water-based inks, with some details being burned In. It is finished with 3 coats of water-based urethane, and signed and dated on the bottom.

Within the one inch thickness, using carving and painting techniques, I suggest a more fully round figure. It is a unique style, which I have developed over more than 30 years.

Though I use non-toxic materials, it is not designed as a toy for children.

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoy this sculpture which is entirely designed and created by myself.
