Dragon Eye Pendant

Posted May 3, 2017, 7:15:21 PM UTC

This is a dragon pendant made from Sculpey Clay and varnished with Folkart Gloss Varnish. The eye also has a 'follow me' effect to it as well. This was an X-mas gift for someone.

Hope you all, enjoy.

When I first saw this, I thought it was a little dragon head, with the inner corner being some sort of beak, but it's still nice now that I have a better look at it. I like the color choice, and how you decided not to give it a slit pupil.

That is cool.
Is all the color from the varnish, or is the varnish a coating over paint? What kind of paint is it safe to varnish over?

  Thanks. Varnish acts as an enhancer of the color as well as protects the paint from dust and other things. There's three different types of varnish that are typically found in art stores that are used: matte, satin and gloss (I used gloss here; all give a different aesthetic.) It is indeed a coating brushed (or sprayed) over the paint. Varnishes can be used on acrylic or oil paint but only when fully cured. Cure times vary on certain elements but, oils usually take the longest to cure (6 months I believe is the bear minimum for oils!)

  Acrylic dries pretty fast, especially in thin coats, so that's good to know.
