Madagascar Inspired ..

This project to create a Radiated Tortoise habitat, needed hand carved rock, inspired by the Tsingy Formations in Madagascar.

These consist of red and grey sandstone and limestone formations. Groups of unusual rock formations called Tsingys are one of the iconic symbols found in Madagascar. These unusually carved rocks are located in several areas around the country but not all are the same rock or colour.

Although this is time consuming and trick to get right unless you know the right techniques, it is totally absorbing and really satisfying to do.

The tortoises love it too!
