Description So typically my creatures are projects that I take on after normal work hours.

In other words, I only get from the time I get home from work, picking up my son from school, having dinner, doing homework with my son, giving him a bath and tucking him in, and the time I go to bed to create. This usually means I work on simple creatures.

Our weekends are usually quite busy so I never get as much time for working on creatures as I would like but I usually try more detailed creatures during this time. However today was different...we had no plans!

I pulled out all the stops. Went to my local craft store and stocked up some more fall colors since they were having a sale. As we were stopped for a boba tea, I couldn't get my mind off of those fall colors. So as soon as we got home I started to sculpt.

This dragon is the result about 4 hours later (counting cooling and glazing time). ^.^

I am *beyond* thrilled with it as it was a personal project for myself!!! ^.^ The only other thing of mine that I've ever kept is of course Baby Star Dragon who is like a mascot to me and the first creature I ever created.

This is the first time I have used some crystals in a sculpt and I really like the look of them (oooo shiny) but I confess I feel a bit lazy for not making all those back-spikes as I normally do!

Obviously inspired by a couple other clay artists who have recently made seasonal dragons with awesome leafwork: *DragonsAndBeasties and =HowManyDragons   ^.^



Made from polymer clay 3" tall by 4" long

Love the style of those leaf wings, and the colors on this one are especially appealing. This one is my favorite of the four. The somewhat sparkly base is very nice, too.

CelestialCreatures In reply to AmethystCreatures [2013-10-13 16:50:18 +0000 UTC]

That's a good idea! I probably will do that.

Ever since I made the fall one I have been thinking about what a winter one would look like! LOL

AmethystCreatures In reply to CelestialCreatures [2013-10-13 17:03:56 +0000 UTC]

I think a winter dragon could have bare branches for wings, since your Autumn one has leaves for wings

Nice! I really like the leaf ears and the jewels down his back. I'm still looking for a decent orange, but your rhinestones look like they coordinate nicely.
