Ellie Elephant


Ellie Elephant is created from chalk pastels, ink, charcoal and acrylic paint with a crackle effect to make her hide look authentic. I finally got around to enlarging her, as i have her loaded as a small image for a card, but now she’s available as a print also…one of my favourites :) I hope you like her….she’s hiding in the jungle
Ellie Elephant belongs to the following groups:

Jeannette Sheehy
I love the detail in the texture of this..how did you do it? It’s fabulous! :)
Karin Taylor
replied
thx Jeannette, i made it some time ago, but at the time i was fascinate with craquel paint…and the effects you could get, ... i believe i applied the craquel paint under, then acrylic over and then some more craquel over the top….as the craquel paint dries it shrinks and pulls back the other paint with it, and this is what apparently creates the look of cracks and peeling paint…although it is sealed, so that it doesn’t flake :)
so glad you like Eliie!! thank you again for asking :)

I don’t think I ever commented on this one, The craqueling effects on the elephant are awsome :)))

Karin Taylor
replied
kapow wow, that’s neato Christelle! maybe it’s got something about india…maybe it’s the big pink flowers which are similar to lotus ? thx so much
Cvail73
Maybe I associate free elephants and lush background with Sri lanka.. :)
No sure why, especially because I’ve never been there, lol!!
Karin Taylor
replied

Hi Karin, Love this little Ellie. I have such a soft spot for elephants since going to India with Pip, it is Pips animal totem and ellies are known to help over come obstacles in life if you say a little prayer to the elephant god Ganesha. Beautiful work as usual. xxxoo

thx lorna, you can’t imagine how this comment touched my heart today, as if you knew somehow I needed encouragement :). Thank you – both you and pip are really spesh xxxxxx
