This week’s polymer clay dragon sculpture is another project derived from a class at\u00a0Polymer Clay Adventure, this time taught by Chris Kapono.<\/p>\n

The colors in the photos don’t show quite true. In my tile the left side is a rich, deep burgundy red and the right side is a royal purple.<\/p>\n

Chris\u00a0taught us how to make a suncatcher on a glass tile. The above tile is the one she\u00a0made while teaching the class. Chris Kapono’s\u00a0work can be found under the name Mandarin Moon, and I’ve loved her style ever\u00a0since I first saw it. \u00a0You can find other examples of her work on Pinterest<\/a>\u00a0and in her Etsy shop<\/a>. She also sells some supplies and destash in another Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"dragon<\/a><\/p>\n

Her class was so thorough and well-explained. It was a\u00a0lot of fun adding all the little details: the swirls, leaves, textures & shapes are all simple, but the combination of every thing together is wonderful. I especially like the little acorns and the pea pod shaped things.\"dragon<\/a><\/p>\n

I used my garlic bag mesh to texture the acorn caps and to add scales to the dragon.<\/p>\n

The clay is cut out from behind the glass “gems” which allows the sunlight to pass through. I’m going to enjoy having this dragon in the window of my studio.<\/p>\n

\"dragon<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to see my other dragon creations so far, I\u2019ve made a Thursday\u2019s Dragon Pinterest board<\/a> just for them.<\/em><\/p>\n
