Sculpture: "Still" with Dahlias and Butterflies

Part of the "Still" series. I have been making these meditation figures since 2006. Inspired by Chinese tomb figures, the original inspiration was actually a musician holding cymbals, but I have always regarded them as meditating figures. I hand build these hollow.

This meditation figure is decorated with transfers of dahlias, roses and zinnias and highlighted with 4 soft gold butterflies. The figure sits with it's feet tucked under it's seat in a kneeling position. 6.5" deep by 6.5" wide and 12.5" in height! I cannot stress enough how unique each one of these figures is.

Surface is a wonderful medley of soft creamy whites, navy, black and a rosey pink. I have never tried this glaze combination before and I am happy with the results. 

As with all of my sculptures these are meant for indoor enjoyment only.
