dragon #40 Arabella (1)

This week’s dragon was inspired by a couple of photos of projects made with the Sutton slice technique.

(Many thanks to Krithika for letting me know that these pieces are by Veronika Sturdy.)

I knew I wouldn’t be able to do a Sutton slice and then sculpt the dragon, so I tried a variation. (f you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s a great tutorial explanation of the Sutton slice.)

Check out this post on Errol, dragon #1, for the details on why I am making one dragon for every week in 2015.

I’m really pleased with how Arabella came out and I love the shadows that are thrown by this waterlily candle holder when the candle is lit.

If you’d like to see my other dragon creations so far, I’ve made a Thursday’s Dragon Pinterest board just for them.

    1. I won’t let the candle burn for long when it’s that close to the dragon. It would scorch the clay if it got too hot. I’ll get a taller candle to put in there for burning.

  1. This post is pretty old, but I wanted to drop in a comment and say that the inspiration pieces are by Veronika Sturdy.
