Sorry folks for the late dragon post this week. My youngest son recently moved back home and we now are back to a full house. It’s not a bad thing, but it certainly has messed up my equilibrium. I really need to start on these dragons sometime before Wednesday night!
Click on any of the photos for a closer look.
Anyhow, meet Renatta. I’ve had in mind to make a red dragon with red and gold mica powders for some time now. I wanted to name her Renatta, which is a form of the name Renee, a character in a book series by one of my favorite authors, Robin Hardy.
I love how the candlelight plays off her wings and her sparkles. The Interference Red Perfect Pearls
I also like that she works with or without the candle holder.
At some point I want to make her a treasure chest, or something interesting to put in that space where she’s looking.
Although they’re not perfect, I do like how the wings came out, especially the translucence.
It was fun making a slightly larger sculpture than I usually do, as I got to spend more time on details like the toes and the horns.
I also did some different details on the tip of the tail.
Now it’s time to start on #6!
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 all. 🙂
Hello gorgeous! Stunning! Love the wings on Renata!
Thank you, Nan!
What an honor! She’s wickedly beautiful. Renee approves and so do I. Thank you!
Oh good, I’m glad you both approve. 😉
I thought of making Renatta way back when a-certain-troll-who-shall-remain-nameless was being so mean about Renee in her reviews and posts on your blog.
Oh, and I while checking out if Renatta was truly a form of Renee I found that they both mean “born again.” But you probably already knew that.
It gave me a chuckle in light of the troll’s unkind and presumptuous commentary.
