Abstract Giraf


 

 

 

Abstract Giraf
Original: A line of cartoon like abstract animals triggered my wife to make her own version.

Model: Clay, with steel rods connecting. 1 meter high.

Build: The nicely sculpted head, trunk and feet turned out to be to heavy for a stable model. It lay waiting for several years. To save the nice idea I carefully drilled holes to attach heavy steel rods. (build over the period June 2022 to January 2023)

I intended to hand it over after it was solid, but she challenged me to finnish it. So I started with thes huge eyes.

The glue is dry, so it is ready to recieve it's head and it is stable!

The legs are bend to give it more stability. For the head an even thicker rod is sponsered by Cees. To make it solid I need construction glue. The rods are held into position with thick ecectric wire.
