Folksy :: Buy "baby elephant on wheels"

Shared by northfieldprimitives in the General Crafts


Product Description:

A baby elephant on vintage metal meccano wheels made from osnaburg which has been hand-dyed with a strong coffee mixture, baked in the oven, then lightly sanded to hive him his vintage look. He would be perfect for a bookcase or shelf as he stands just 19cm tall, and is about 26cm long from his tail to his head.
Baby elephant has vintage boot buttons for eyes, making him unsuitable for children. I have finished him with a rusty bell around his neck, and a pull-along string attached the axle of the wheels, also with a rusty bell attached. baby elephant is one of my own designs and was stitched entirely on an old singer treadle machine.
Please note he is intended for decoration and is not suitable for children.
