All sizes listed for polymer clay cutters are approximate and given in millimetres. Minor variation is normal and part of the handcrafted nature of 3D printed cutters.
Rinse your cutter with warm water after use and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid acetone, harsh solvents, or prolonged heat exposure as these can affect the material over time. Store flat or upright in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Gece Bekçi means night guardian. This wildlife polymer clay cutter takes the face of an owl as its outer silhouette, the interior built from two large circular eye forms with fine inner detail, a small central beak, and flowing feather forms spreading downward and outward from the body to a single teardrop point at the base. Every line follows the natural structure of the bird without becoming literal, keeping the composition within the decorative tradition. Pairs beautifully alongside Altı Penç for contrast in scale and form.
The owl has carried symbolic weight across Anatolian and broader Turkish folk tradition for centuries, associated with night, wisdom and the threshold between the seen and unseen. Its presence in decorative craft sits at the boundary between wildlife illustration and symbolic form.
