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:

Animal Kingdom Available for sale as

    Jeannette Sheehy

    I love the detail in the texture of this..how did you do it? It’s fabulous! :)

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper 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 :)

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper 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.. :)

    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
