I am trying to have some diversity in my sculpture, so I like doing other things, but dragons are still my fav. This was inspired by a heart pendant one of my peers made as a necklace, and I finally got around to making a dragon pendant. It's about two (?) inches tall I think, pretty small by my standards- small things are surprisingly hard to make. It's colors didn't come out as expected, but that is the life of a raku artist, lol. This little sucker was a pain to pick up with tongs, I had to attach a wire loop to it, and after it was reduced, I literally was searching for it for at least ten minutes through the smoking ash so I could get it- life's and adventure, heh, but worth it in the end :) Getting the camera to focus was flat out a pain though.

Art belongs to me, don't steal or repost, thanks.

    This is very pretty. The dragon looks sound asleep to me.

      Thank you! I wanted something round so it wouldn't break as easy and so I could attach it better, so this happened Smile

      Thanks! I wish I could wear it more places, but I have to treat it delicately wherever I do since it's clay.

        Oh yeah, I can get that. <.< I've tried making some polymer clay jewelry before but it seems to need to be pretty thick for me to actually be confident in it not breaking...

          Yeah, the strength of clay can be a real limiting factor! I've had plenty of experience with thin parts breaking on me, it sucks.

            Well... here's to future luck for both of us.
