Next in line is CHUNKIE Elephant ….Originally the elephant was deep purple but it looked all wrong, so I’ve muted the colours and added embellishments, he/she would make a lovely valentines day, friendship, wedding, engagement, anniversary, or welcome baby card now….am very happy with how this little one turned out for me….the beads are embedded in the clay around the ears and the flower is from the next door neighbours garden, it was originally bright orange in colour. I created the other little embellishments/love heart framing the elephant in photoshop. CHUNKIE Elephant is bearing a bunch of flowers in his/her trunk, she always brings gifts to her friends….

Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …

CHUNKIE Elephant belongs to the following groups:

Childhood, Cutest of the Cute, Fabulous Flowers, Miniatures and Mammoths, Mixed Media and Valentines and Hearts Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

  • Pip Gerard

    Pip Gerard

    Wow…wow…wow…absolutely wonderful… I’m running out of adjectives to give for your work that I adore!!
    perfect for an engagement or wedding. (symbol of the strength of love and union).
    You should be submitting the chunkies to the large card companies… like John Sands??

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    hehe…thank you so much Pip, i just love your enthusiasm :) it makes me giggle a LOT…can submit them to my agent in the states, and then she submits them to people like that….i must organise to have these sent to her by file protocol asap….i might wait til they’re all uploaded to RB first tho Pip :) xxxx

  • Pip Gerard

    Pip Gerard

    are you finding them relaxing and enjoyable to make? Do you think you still prefer to paint?

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    oh yes…i do find them enjoyable, and time passes so quickly too….but i feel this sense of guilt that i’m really meant to be painting…i want to set goals this year to paint again…i’d like to complete 6 big works, and i think i’d be really happy with that effort….but i’ll be doing little else if I’m doing the painting…so i won’t be uploading works regularly to RB…just commenting a lot on others works and upload one big painting perhaps every 1-2 months – we’ll just see how it all shapes up i guess :) xx

  • Cvail73

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    helloooo sparkles, and yes you are right, this one does have a rather different feel to it..i photographed it in different light in a different spot to most of the others, and had to do a lot more photoshopping too ; ) x

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    and i forgot to say thank you!!!!xx

  • Pip Gerard

    Pip Gerard

    like this background better. xoxox
    I really think our bubble feeds are really a mess at the moment. I’ve found comments & works that haven’t appeared in my feed when they should have. Bit worrying.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Hi Pip…yep, it’s a real mess….RB are still working on it apparently, sigh* twil be wonderful when it’s all sorted out hey…

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Oh thank you Pip…yes i noticed that in the preview the previous background was cutting off on the right hand side…that’s no good…so i have had to play around with it…decided to make the heart more pronounced…..and there are still some more slight adjustments…..uploading that now…but you will hardly see any difference…just looked slightly askew to me….i’ve tried to balance it better this time :) x

    what a gorgeous little ellie!!!! I love the white on white… makes it so much more delicate!

    To do 2 ellies without creating 2 in clay (although that is fun to do), you could take this without the pretties, flip it and change the hue with p/shop… Then you’d have a chunkie version of your adorable pair of ellies!! but you probably know that already going by your amazing skill with p/shop!

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    lol…thank you so much georgiegirl…you are right, i hadn’t thought of that….might have to do that too…that sounds nice … i’ve done it before with some of the other ellies…so yes, it’s definitely possible…hard work cutting around those tiny beads but!!! lol xoxoxox thank you again xoxox

  • margaretfraser

    margaretfraser

    how lovely are your chunkies for photograpic purposes only or do you sell the chunkies????

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thank you margaret, only for photographic at the moment…they are rather incomplete in reality and not made from a permanent substance….photoshopping really makes all the difference with these …so pleased you like them ;) and thanx for asking!!

  • AnitaInverarity

    AnitaInverarity

    Aww its one of your Ellie’s come to life- this is so pretty, it would be wonderful for a bride to be or bridesmaid gift xxxxxxx

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thanx heaps Anita!!!! I didn’t realise until it turned into a heart at the back, that it could be construed that way too, and i’m really happy that it serves quite a few occasions due to the heart….thank you so much once again Anita xoxoxox

  • AnitaInverarity

    What would this series be without one of your adorable elephants? I love the bunch of flowers in his spiraling trunk, and how you cleverly reproduced them on the “wall”. It’s a tender and beautiful work Karin. :)
