Primitive Vintage Look - Whimsical Circus Elephant Art Doll - Layaway Available
I am so pleased with how this elephant turned out!! I designed and created him in my mountain workshop with extreme attention to detail and love in every stitch. Jumbo has an incredibly authentic rustic old timey finish. You would think he were actually 100 years old.
I made Jumbo primarily out of muslin. I stained him with my coffee and spice mixture, baked, sanded, stained and sanded again. I created his blanket and head piece and fastened on his button eyes. He is balanced on a ball made of muslin and a variety of colorful cotton fabrics to add detail. He has a fantastic antique look. Once Jumbo was finished I created the base from a piece of pine wood which I painted in layers of mustard and burnt umber then sanded and distressed to look very old. . I attached a 'London Zoo' sign to the base (made from a craft stick fastened on with rusty nails). The entire base was sealed with a matte acrylic spray to ensure lasting enjoyment of the piece. Finally, I added the rustic circus advertisement hang tag using a rusty safety pin and jingle bell.
Jumbo is 10 1/2 in tall and 10 1/2 in wide.
I know you will adore Jumbo. He is a very special creation. I'm so tempted to keep him myself!!
