Description
Hand sculpted bears in porcelain. They have wings like bumble bees, hence the name bumblebears. The wings have a gold lustre finish, ie real gold. Bumblebears make honey comb structures in porcelain. Here they fly around a bevelled glass mirror. The mirror frame is embellished with porcelain cherry blossom and honeycomb. Also vegatation made of real lichen, felt and other fibres.
The Bumble Bears is a serie of mixed media sculptures where bumblebears are combined with found tools and utensils.
This is a unique one of a kind piece. You will receive the one as shown in the pictures.
{PORCELAIN} Each piece is hand crafted by Annemiek from porcelain clay, known for its exceptional strength and translucency. This strength allows for delicate, thin designs. Porcelain requires a high firing temperatures. I fire my pieces at least twice: one at a low temperature before applying glazes, and a second at high temperature for translucency and glazing. Third firings are for decals/transfers or gold lustre. Natural porcelain is white, but pigments or stains can be added for colour, which permeates the entire piece. Glaze is applied only to the surface.
{CLEANING} Dust with a soft brush or blow it a kiss
{SHIPPING} All items come gift wrapped. This gift will go in to a box with bubble wrap or other protective material for shipping. These are much recycled boxes, wrap as possible, to save the environment and on shipping costs.
