Four Elephants carrying the World on their backs

My SO bought me this beautiful stone globe years ago, but the stand it came with was a really cheesy gold, so when we packed for the move we got rid of the stand.

Behold the new stand :smiley:




It’s a simple cross connection, and the elephant is from a drawing found online - I took a copy of the drawing and filled it entirely in black, then traced that to get a vector outline - detached the bit that crossed the back so I could score that instead of cutting, and finished with a tung oil/mineral spirit mix.

Thank you Terry Pratchett

I suppose since they’re holding a globe it’s appropriate that the elephants are flat.

So when do you follow this up with a giant turtle table? All hail Great A’Tuin :wink::heart_eyes_cat::heart_eyes_cat:

My first thought (political)

Oh no, more politics. If I did it they would be donkeys.

A great place for a deep 3d relief engrave.
