DAWN WARDEN

Handbuilt mason stained porcelain, with hand painted slip, glaze, gold + palladium luster, and underglaze accents.

Post-fire details include epoxy sculpt and paint for tail’s length (excluding bauble), as well as lacquer for added vibrancy to face.

This piece is a companion to the Dusk Warden, and a part of my 4-piece Celestial Wards series! In contrast to the Dusk Warden, Dawn Warden is a mischievous scamp; wearing no mask because he doesn't care, and embodying the relentlessness of morning as opposed to the calm of night.

I'm really proud of this critter! It was my first time working with porcelain for sculpture, as well as my first time using mason stains, and I love the way it came out!

This one's eyes follow you extremely well, more so than Dusk Warden, so looking at it in real life hammers in the slightly uncanny expression on the face.
