Hi everyone,
This is my third and newest elk sculpture. There’s an interesting challenge about blending different colors of wire into a piece to suggest color changes in the animal’s fur. I decided to make him a little bit whimsical, so he has fun pops of color by way of the beaded ornaments in his antlers. At my last art show, some thought he was a reindeer – maybe he is.
He measures 5 inches long by 4.5 inches tall by 2 inches wide. He’s made with dark annealed wire and copper wire. His antlers are branch-shaped embellishments, and the ornaments are tiny colored beads.
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

December 10, 2018 at 8:10 pm #743425Thank you so much, CaliAnn! I’m glad you like the jewels – they do add a festive touch.
Thank you, Chammi. I’m glad you like him. He was very much liked at my November art show…but, alas, he still came home with me. That’s how it goes. :rolleyes:
Thank you so much, Jon. I’m so glad you like him.

December 16, 2018 at 6:28 pm #743428Thank you very much, Skipstah! I’m glad you like the look of the two types of wire. I enjoy blending them in this way for certain pieces.
Kay, thank you very much! He does look rather Christmassy.
