Elephant in the Room mosaic, hooks and letter rack

 

 

  For this latest addition to the “Handy Hooks” creations, I bought a pre-cut MDF elephant shape, to which I’ve added and grouted coloured mosaic craft tiles. There are 2 drilled holes, so it can be screwed directly to a wall (screws and rawl plugs included), or it can be hung like a picture as shown in the photos.

The letter rack was rescued from a charity shop, and it has been screwed onto the MDF.
I’ve called this elephant artwork “Elephant in the Room”. 

 Approximate measurements:

Letter rack 20cm x 7.5cm x 12cm. Shaped dividers. Elephant and leaf gold coloured motif, on varnished wood.
2 silver coloured coat hooks, screwed on, with a small piece of material added at the back to protect from the screw tips.
MDF elephant 35cm x 26 cm.
Total depth 9cm; total weight 1167g

FOR SALE: £35 free post

A Herd of Elephants

There are now three elephant friends – a tote bag, “Elephant in the Room” with a letter rack and hooks, and Nellie with hooks.

When I’ve finished my current projects, I’m going to do a batik safari scene with elephants and giraffes. But maybe someone would like to buy this group of three now for 20% discount, with free post?

FOR SALE: £55

ELEPHANT mosaic with 2 wooden knobs for hanging up items

 This is part of my new craftwork theme …Rescue, Repurpose, Reuse. I’m trying to create usable items from used parts, adding an art and craft aspect to them. For this storage piece, the chopping board came from a charity shop, which I sanded and varnished on the front. There are 2 mirror plates added, so it can be screwed directly to a wall (screws and rawl plugs included), or it can be hung like a picture as shown in the photos.
For the elephant, I bought a pre-cut MDF elephant shape, to which I’ve added mosaic craft tiles, which have been grouted.
The elephant is attached to the board with strong PVA glue. The wooden knobs (new, but originally intended for a set of drawers), are screwed on from the back.
Approximate measurements:
Board 32cm x 19cm.
Total size of the mosaic 35cm/14” x 33cm/13” x 7cm/3”
