Handmade in Cape Town South Africa of re-purposed wood sourced from building sites and recycling depots. The wood is collected, cleaned, painted and then hand cut into pieces and re-assembled into little works of art. As they are not working with new materials and the process is all by hand, every piece is unique and brings with it a little bit of history through the life stories of the wood gathered together to create something new.
- Large Size: approx: 32x24x3cm
- 5% from the sale of these elephants will be donated back to elephant conservation efforts in Southern Africa. Please refer to the giving portion of our website for additional information.
Being hand made items of natural and re-purposed materials, marks and flaws in the wood are what makes the pieces so special, as each piece of wood has a story. It is not uncommon for the material to bend slightly or change as it ages, develops and adjusts to its new environment. Each pieces has a wood backing, so changes are small, but they do occur.
