Hello and welcome to the 20th in my year-long series of polymer clay dragons.

This week’s dragon is Gwenda, which means “white wave.” She’s a pretty girl, with her pink, green & silver swirls, and she likes pretty things. As you can see she’s found this pink heart shaped stone.

If I were you, I would not try to take it from her. In fact, I’d suggest you not even look at it. Just in case. You wouldn’t want to lose a finger.

Gwenda was made using the faux leopardskin jasper technique from Kim Schlinke and Ranee Ketzel’s book Polymer Clay Gemstones: The Art of Deception. These are some beads I made in the same way.

I think I like the swirly pattern better than the spotted. Also, I’d like this better in different colors. It was a fun technique to play with and I’m looking forward to experimenting with bolder shades and different shapes.

  1. Wow, what a beautiful mottled pattern. Your dragons are great! What are you going to do with them when you’re done?

    1. Thanks, Robin! I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with all of them. Right now they’re just filling up every single flat surface in my craft room. 🙂

      I do hope at some point to teach a few classes on making them. Or maybe write a book? We’ll see how it goes.
