Elephant No. 2 (Not Necessarily a Republican)

Elephant No. 2 (because there is also an Elephant No. 1) was my attempt to redeem myself in elephant crafting after forgetting the tusks in Elephant No. 1 and get as much representation out of the figure as I could whilst removing the least amount of stone from the block. My inspiration for the piece was the sculptor Constantin Brancusi, and while you may not have heard the name you may have seen the sculpture. Unfortunately, after I completed it and was so happy with it, my wife said she didn’t like it because it looks like the Republican mascot. And I have to admit that, yes it does. So if there’s any Republican out there who wants an elephant carving…

5 out of 5 because he turned out as planned and because he is actually a moderate conservative.

Limestone, about 12”H, 8”W, 6”D.

A picture of Brancusi’s “The Kiss” is there to give you an idea.
