Description This is a work in progress of a new elephant candle I'm sculpting out. Medium is clay, the ball is made of smokey quartz. All hand sculpted and I think I might be proud of this little fella. I will of course be posting a finished product as soon as I get a decent one out of the mold. There will likely be some changes due to the nature of wax. Don't mind the background clutter please, as this is just a WIP.

Awesome . . . very cute.

All looks good . . . 'cept the front legs could be a little thicker.

You have talent.

Yeah there are a little big of leg issues with the molding of the candle in the first place. So there's going to be a few changes. I did thicken them up a bit last night, going to work a little more on it this afternoon and then hopefully pour the casting today too.

Love the design. I take it the ball will also be wax -- this whole thing just being the model to create the mold to poor the wax into?

Yep! That way the whole thing is my work. We do this with the majority of the candles we make. The ball will also be wax, although I'm working on the idea of maybe making it a separate color than the elephant itself. And thanks
