Bronze Sleepy Baby Giraffe
Watching a baby fall asleep is one of the more adorable things to experience. Watching a baby giraffe with its long neck trying to keep its head upright while fighting sleep is not just adorable, but comical with a dash of cuteness overload as well. I used gold leaf to detail the spots on this baby. It is 999/1000 Real Gold. This is a limited edition. 1/25. This bronze cast baby giraffe is the result. Height 7 3/4" Width 4 1/2" Depth 6 1/2 Shipping not included While surfing images of baby giraffes as a way to study them for a sculpture, I ran across a youtube video, "Cute alert: Baby giraffe struggles to stay awake" on Zoomin Change Youtube channel. I just HAD to try and capture such cuteness. Catch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T9NB8z6BtU

Feb 1, 2018I am so happy I was able to find Paula and Larry at Earth Eagle Forge! The work on my custom firescreen is EXQUISITE. I don't think I could have found a more skilled artisan for this project. Paula is such a professional - very thorough, timely, courteous and honest. I asked for a very large, detailed piece to be mounted on an uneven rock surface and she was able to pull it off and contain the cost as much as possible without sacrificing the artistic integrity of the piece. I was kept up to date and involved in the entire process. Because of bad weather we were forced to wait a few days before we could uncrate the firescreen (torture!) and we'll need to wait a few more days before installing as its going on our covered fireplace outside, BUT, I can not wait to post pictures of this amazing piece. I would not hesitate to work with Earth Eagle Forge again for any future projects - thanks Paula!!!

Oct 15, 2014I had a simple request, make me something unique kinda like a picture of a bracelet i found on line. They did a great job of making a very beefy and unique bracelet. The quality is great, I am very satisfied and will be going back in the future for any custom made items I need. Thanks again to Paula, You out did yourself. Ray

Jul 29, 2014Very pleased with the results of my project. Granted my project was way below the skill level of Earth Eagle Forge. Either way. Earth Eagle provided professional service, quick turn around and fast shipping. Thank you very much!!
