This little guy was just TOO much fun to make.<\/p>\n

Isn’t that the cutest widdle face? \u00a0===gah===<\/p>\n

The wings took several tries to get right, but I’m really thrilled with how they finally came out.<\/p>\n

That piece of quartz has been hanging around for several years. \u00a0I think it’s absolutely perfect here.<\/p>\n

I started the face and body using Christi Friesen’s book Dragons<\/a>\"\", but then went in my own direction.<\/p>\n

Those are chip beads on the base, which gives you a little bit of an idea of his size. (About 2 1\/2 inches from the base to the tip top of his wing, and the base is 3 inches across the widest point.)<\/p>\n

\"polymer-clay-dragon-with-crystal-003\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used just the teeniest bit of Christi Friesen’s new metallic paints and patinas for accents. \u00a0Kinda lovin’ those these days.<\/p>\n

In fact, I just realized I forgot to give you guys the promised chart of those paints and what the patinas do to them.<\/p>\n

\"metallics-and-patinas-on-clay-chart\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I honestly see no difference between the Tiffany and the Verdigris patinas.<\/p>\n

\"polymer-clay-dragon-with-crystal-004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The plan is to next make a purple dragon with red and gold accents. \u00a0She’ll be holding pretty clear crystals, and I’m thinking her name will be Amy. \u00a0(We’ll see who she turns out to be, though.)<\/p>\n

Once the details are worked out, I hope to send a few of these little guys off to good homes through my Etsy shop.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Happy Creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
