This week I’m going from one extreme to another. Since dragon #6, Rosalita, took SO long to make, I decided to go for a much smaller scale this time around.
To learn why I’m making a dragon every week check out this post on Errol, dragon #1, for the details.
Meet Frodo and Sam.

Since Rosalita took over 2 weeks, I was one dragon behind. So I made a pair for you this week.
The “cabochons” are actually the two halves of a glass bead I made when I was first learning to lampwork. I let it cool off too quickly and it cracked.
The original intent was to make a pair of earrings, but they ended up too big. They’re 1 1/4-inches tall and 1-inch across. (Rosalita’s head is bigger than that!) The little dragon’s head’s are only 6mm (1/4-inch) long.
A dusting of Perfect Pearls gives them their shimmer. I had thought to antique them to bring out the details, but kinda like that you have to look for a moment to realize that they’re dragons. 🙂
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.
Those are so sweet! I don’t understand how you can make something so tiny and detailed. :O
This is how: Magnifying Lamp
I am in awe of your miniatures! Magnifying or not my hands would not stop shaking if I tried something so tiny. Love the shimmer in the pic bet IRL it’s fantastic!
