Meet Bernadette, dragon #3 in my 2015 challenge to make a polymer clay dragon every week.
Click on any of the photos for a closer look.
To learn why I’m making a dragon every week check out this post on Errol, dragon #1, for the details.
If you are familiar with other dragons I’ve made, you’re probably wondering why there’s such a stylistic departure this week.
Cartoony is definitely not my usual approach. However, I’m participating in the Polymer Clay Adventure this year and want to put the classes to good use.
Last week’s class was taught by Katie Oskin, and she did a great tutorial on an adorable raccoon in her usual cute and very cartoon-like style. (Similar tutorials can be purchased at her website, KatersAcres.com. If you like this style, you should also check out Parker’s Tutorial Club.)
After studying her construction, I decided that if I changed just the tail, the head and added a few details, I could have a dragon.
Doncha love Bernadette’s pretty pink manicure?
And that gleam in her eye… what IS she up to?
If you’d like to keep up with my dragon creations this year, I’ve made a Thursday’s Dragon Pinterest board just for them.
Happy creating!
Hi Sandy! I love your dragon and Bernadette suits her SO well. Oh my goodness, she’s so adorable, I just can’t get over it. I’m glad you like the Raccoon tutorial as well. Thank you for the mention.
I’m undertaking a dragon a week too this year.
Thank, Katie! I chose the name Bernadette because she kind of made me think of Barney the purple dinosaur, only better. 🙂
I’ll be watching for your weekly dragons. I suspect ours will be VERY different.
Aww, she’s adorable! Nice job!!
Thank you 🙂
i love Bernadette. Such a cute dragon. Following you through Feedly.
Welcome, Aileen! And thank you for the nice comments.
I love Bernadette, she is so cute. Would love to learn how to use Polly clay. Following you on u tube. You do really cool stuff
Thank you, Cheryln! If you want to learn, just jump in! Get a couple packages of clay, find a book at the library or a free online tutorial and give it a whirl. 🙂 Happy creating!
