Guardian

This piece formed in my mind as a clay doll but morphed into a guardian. Later I thought to put an item in the hands but wasn't sure what. Perhaps a lotus. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

    1. it may be too late to add something for him to hold but perhaps after firing

    2. I said him but really the piece feels more androgynus

  3. The head with (ears?) headdress reminds me of a feline for some reason! Great creature, whatever it is.

  5. Guardian may not need anything visible to hold. Maybe something will come to mind later.

  6. perhaps you are right, no sense forcing something just to have something to hold. I thought of a branch of wheat or oats, perhaps i will fashion something from another material after firing.

  7. I love the concept, but that particular guardian reminds me of a Doctor Who episode...

  8. I like him/her. My first thought is he looks like he should be carrying a load of firewood. Maybe a piece of your lovely driftwood.
