Hafiz the Room Guardian

Etsy commission

Hafiz means the keeper, guardian, preserver; he has a clear quartz heart. 

Hafiz is quite possibly my favorite commission to date! The client asked for a room guardian inspired by the pacific northwest wildlife.

Everything else was left completely open! You may notice elements of different animals that inspired me. 
I used instamorph plastic for his antlers and legs and the pure white contributes to the ethereal spirit energy I wanted him to express.

Room Guardians are small creatures that protect one's home from negative spirits and energies. These friends can be easily placed on window sills, kitchen shelves, dressers, or wherever to keep watch over the room. Each guardian has a soft faux fur coat and each is individually sculpted from the wire frame to the clay face and hands, so no two are alike. The room guardians' arms, tails, and necks are bendable and Inside each of their chests is a unique crystal heart to give each one a different energy. These little guys have a lot of character and they love having a home to watch over.
