This was originally made for Valentine's day, but sadly was found by somne real kitties. He is unique among my earlier pieces as he has a multi-layer smooth lacquer finish. His whiskers are made of wire, and are baked into the clay.
This piece was built over an aluminum foil armature for extra strength. This is the largest of my 3-D polymer clay work. (As of 4/2005) The lovely blue dragon you see is about 8 inches long. He was made as a birthday gift for a friend.
This is the closeup of the fellow mentioned earlier.The dragon is set on a small oval mirror, and is surrounded by pond grasses, lilies, and lilypads. He seems totally entranced with the butterfly on his nose. I must admit, I think his expression is adorable.
I think this is what happens when a baby dragon climbs a palace tower. He almost looks like a kitten up a tree who can't figure out how to climb down.
One of my favorite and best pieces to date. This is "Lithelimb the Ent." He is built over an aluminum foil armature. His crown is made of plastic leaf garland, and his eyes, and those of his companion are tiny glass beads. I am truly proud of the expressiveness of his face, and the texturing on his skin.
