The Forest Guardian

8-11 Category   •  2026

I made this using clay that i scooped up from the bed of the River Inagh in Ennistymon, when on a walk down the glen. I used moss for the hair, a poppy seed head for the staff, a dried Pussy Willow for the other sword. For the ears and legs I used acorn caps, I pushed an acorn into his belly. I added texture all over using a pointy stick. I photographed it in our garden. It represents nature to me.
