Description
Glass dome with a guardian hog, he is guarding a sacred oak together with a goat, a goose, a hedgehog and a snail. A mouse is hiding in his bag. The oak is hollow and has a led light inside which you can switch on/off with the button at the back of the base.
This is a unique one of a kind piece, a mixed media sculpture with natural, wool and synthetich fibres for the grass/vegetation. Gold accents were added with gold paint and gold lustre.
{PORCELAIN} I handcraft each piece 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.
{SHIPPING} All my items come gift wrapped, in this case in the gift box as pictured. This will go in to a box with bubble wrap or other protective material for shipping. For this I use as much recycled boxes, wrap as possible, to save the environment and on shipping costs.
