The paper is created on the grounds of the Kraal.  It is beautifully textured, odorless, and environmentally sound.  With 90 elephants on site, each of which eats an average of 300 – 500 lbs. of food daily, one can surmise that a fair amount of cleanup would be necessary.  There has been a new movement as of late to reuse this elephant by-product in larger elephant facilities throughout Southeast Asia.  The dung is processed, bleached, screened and dried into a papier-mache type material.  The beautifully textured result is being used to create a variety of wonderful products such as paper, picture frames, bookmarks, jewelry boxes, even hats.  Yes, “art from both ends of the elephant”.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=72&osCsid=06b896a15259150c51cb182ba83cfbe6"> As such,</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=72&osCsid=06b896a15259150c51cb182ba83cfbe6">Noppakhao has begun to excel at complex compositions, such as some floral designs of a very unique quality.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=72&osCsid=06b896a15259150c51cb182ba83cfbe6"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD width="25%" class="productListing-odd"><TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD align="center" class="productListing-data"> <A href="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=72&products_id=869&osCsid=06b896a15259150c51cb182ba83cfbe6" linkindex="0"><IMG width="125" height="125" border="0" title=" Noppakhao #001 " alt="Noppakhao #001" src="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/images/Noppakhao 001 Sold.jpg" /></A> </TD></TR><TR><TD class="productListing-data"> <A href="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=72&products_id=869&osCsid=06b896a15259150c51cb182ba83cfbe6" linkindex="1">Noppakhao #001</A> </TD></TR><TR><TD align="center" class="productListing-data"> $600.00 </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elephantart.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=72&osCsid=06b896a15259150c51cb182ba83cfbe6"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.elephantart.com/img/9A3472CD-ED16-4033-867F-5AD9EC49080A" alt="Noppakhao #002" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/61E7ACE0-28BF-4E36-9A6E-D3E85FB8C36F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
