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.
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.
Great piece, I am curious to see what it will become.
ReplyDeleteit may be too late to add something for him to hold but perhaps after firing
DeleteI said him but really the piece feels more androgynus
Deletea kiln god, guarding the firing... how tall is he?
ReplyDeleteabout twelve inches tall, maybe fourteen
Deleteyou said he as I did, must be the broad shoulders
DeleteThe head with (ears?) headdress reminds me of a feline for some reason! Great creature, whatever it is.
ReplyDeletenot sure what it is, it just appeared. ha
ReplyDeleteGuardian may not need anything visible to hold. Maybe something will come to mind later.

ReplyDeleteI love the concept, but that particular guardian reminds me of a Doctor Who episode...
ReplyDeletenow I have to find out who Doctor Who is
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteoh it does look like it might be something heavy and he/she looks like they can carry the heavy load
