Product details: Stylish elephant adds a 'welcoming' appeal to your decor A Jumbo Welcome wall adornment forged of iron by J. Blas, who uses a novel technique of his own design to cut iron sheets Sculpture like decoration is painted by hand with a blend of enamel and acrylic hues, infusing a rustic elegance Clean with a dry cloth Artisan Story: Hello. My name is J. Blas. From the time I was small I have enjoyed arts and crafts. I loved to dig and prepare clay to make my own pieces and from that time on I began to experiment with ceramics. We cut the metal sheets and hammer them into shape. Then we weld them and add the details. For a clean appearance, we submerge them in an acid bath to remove grease and carbon. After that, they are treated to retard rust before we paint them with a special, lead-free paint. Every piece created at my workshop goes hand in hand with originality, design and quality. We are always developing new designs and products. What is Worldstock? The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing.

In the beginning, my older brother, Wayan Sukamara, taught me the various techniques of sanding and finishing. In 1974 I began to sculpt, taking inspiration from some of the finest statues and carvings of our region. The traditional forms and poses were of strong beauty and fine workmanship, which inspired me to learn this style. Traditional characters in religious mythology offer a variety of ways for an artist to express creativity and style. I wish now is to continue upholding the values of those who taught and inspired me, while being able to continue taking very good care of my family and my woodcarving group.Please allow 10 business days for the product to leave our warehouse and to receive tracking information.

'I began as an artisan's assistant and a sculptor, and gradually I became fascinated with gems and crystals,' Guena said. 'Soon after, I was exhibiting my work at local art fairs and markets. Now I can tell you I could never go back to a technical or bureaucratic job. I have more patience for art than for logic. Nowadays I travel throughout Brazil in search of crystals from Bahia, emeralds from Minas Gerais, agates from Rio Grande do Sul, and many other naturally occurring wonders. I continuously learn new techniques and craft different products. To me, Novica means an excellent opportunity for people to get to know the extraordinary work people all over the world are capable of making.
