A Happy Family of 7 Elephants - Glass Sculpture

^{This art work is inspired from the very popular “Happy Family of Elephants” in Kerala which is made of resin and black in color. Popularity of that inspired us to produce and replicate the same in glass and any other materials so that the consumers would have access to variety with in the same artifact and can choose the best as per their need. However, due to the inherent limitations of Glass Burner Work or Frame Work we could not replicate the same as it is but the end product itself is as beautiful as the one we conceived.}

^{It’s a family of 7 elephants of various ages, the eldest being mamma elephant and rest 6 are her kids. One each on the side covering two more siblings on each side. All of them together form a circular shape touching and holding each other. They look and appear extremely happy and contended. They symbolizes peace and happiness in the home and hence prosperity.} 

^{Flamework or Burnerwork is an artform in which Glass is heated to 800 degree centigrade and continuously managed with the help of various tools. The artisan continuously needs to keep the glass piece rotating at significant speed so that the glass doesn’t melt completely and drip out of the piece. Its hard to believe that there are artisans in India who are as good as their European counterparts but doesn’t earn as much as them. The tools used by Indian Artisans are not very advance but their imaginations are unique and unparallel. We at “komoli” work with many artisans with these unique skills to make them earn more and make their work popular across the country and the world.}
