Description
This gryphon, like the one here , was inspired by ~kalicothekat 's pipecleaner griffin. It took several days to make from plastic beads and stands 2 1/2 inches high with a wingspan of 2 1/4 inches.I really like the circle effect and am thinking about adapting it to other things.

Thanks, Yami.
The colors aren't actually my idea. If I can remember who on dA I stole it from, I'll post a link in the description.

Um, would you consider doing a bird wing tutorial? I FAIL at them

Just the wing? I could probably manage that. It may take a little while to find the time, though, especially since I don't have this critter with me (it's with my parents on another continent for several more months), so I will have to make a new one, first.

That fine! I'm always struggling with wings. Bat, or feathered. I made my mom a dragon and epic failed on the wings. So now it's a lizard, lol

I'll see what I can do. If I don't post anything in the next couple months, just send me a reminder, since I can get sidetracked easily.

Sure, no problem. Thanks! Oh, I meant to ask, how long does it take to make the body?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Depends. For the griffin, if I've made one recently (and so can clearly visualize the pattern), maybe an hour, or less if I've made several, unless I am doing some complex color pattern. For most of my sculptures, wings and manes, if they have them, take longer than the bodies.

Thank you. They took forever to make and when I was done, that wasn't even what I wanted them to look like, but I like it anyway.

amazing do you do tutorels? or can you tell me wher i can find a book or stuff online?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The only tutorials I have done are the ones in my gallery. The only other really good one I have seen is ChimeraDragonFang's, which is in my favorites. There are a few on About.Com that you may find helpful, but they use a different style. I developed this style over many years and have never seen anyone else using it.
I like the simplicity of yours; that's where I started.

Thank you. It was accidental, but I am really happy with how it turned out.

Oh wow; absolutely amazing!

Alas, I don't sell them. Each one I make is different and giving up the few I make as gifts is almost always hard.
And for one like this, a second attempt might be pretty, but even with every stitch the same it wouldn't look the same as the first.

Oh, I definately understand that no two are ever going to be the same. :3 It's impossible for something that's hand made to look exactly like it's first copy. Honestly, even if it were different, I'm sure it would be just as lovely and unique as the first/second.
But you should definately consider opening for commissions. I'm sure you'd get a ton. Your works are amazing

Maybe I'll consider doing commissions someday, I could use the income, but I'd need to practice with glass beads first and figure out cost of time and materials... mostly time...
I just can't be bothered right now. Anyway, should I change my mind, I'll definitely post something on this site.

Turn it into a full circle and it would make an awesome peacock.

True. I hadn't thought of that, but I think it would work.
