I have recently received my two elephant ears that I had tanned and then painted by Sue Tabor in Harare. She did an awesome job-one is a buffalo and other an ele. I am researching my options on how to display them. I would prefer to hang them on the wall. I have had two ideas presented to me. One is to apply felt backing and then hang them. The other is to glue them to a piece of Masonite and hang them. Any opinions on these or other ideas would be much appreciated.

do a search in this forum for robert utne - take a look at his work - and then contact him

Robert Utne did mine and put it on some kind of fiberglass backing, very light, ready to hang. I think the felt would be a dust catcher.

This is how I had mine done

That is a really cool ear/painting.

JTEX, that is one of the best I've ever seen.

I have not figured out what to do with mine when it arrives.

George, Rich's mom Sue did a PHENOMENAL job on my ears with her paintings.

They must have turned out really nice.
I was thinking of possibly using the ear for a table top.I'll have to find a taxidermist in Canada who could do such work.
