Ranjit and Indira

Ranjit and his elephant Indira
Carried the orphans through tiger country
And the tiger through people country
As they journeyed to the Valley
Of Never Ending Happiness

Matte acrylic on a plaster-filled 2 liter Coke bottle.

I have no idea how you visualise the potential of an object in your mind, but this is absolutely fab.

If bottles had this design, people would keep on refilling them to use again and again.

I can feel a circus spirit! The illusion that this bottle is moving is quite strong. Lovely details as always, I especially like the back side!:)I hope you'll find soon a bottle, suitable for the Valley Of Never Ending Happiness!
