The Darling Ivory Project Part II

The Printing for the Darling Ivory Project II -2020 is finished!

Now work for Bookbinder! 

The 2015 Darling Ivory Project has been successfully ended with the adoption of 7 years for each of the 18 baby African elephants, which were financed by 18 donated bows by 18 bow makers. The bows, made with ivory frogs from the very same tusk and pre CITES of 1974 were legally purchased from a legal source and each bow was delivered with CITES certification for the frog, button and tip.

Now, in 2017, a second group with 18 bowmakers is being formed who will donate the ivory mounted bows for this next Elephant Orphan Project.
