Description The Bloodbellied Glimmerwing is usually found in the rainforests of Faerie, hunting for insects, slugs, fruits and vegetation. She is a gentle creature to all besides, and a favorite playmate of other fairy creatures.

The Bloodbellied Glimmerwing is aptly named. Her shimmery transparent green-and-feathered wings contrast beautifully with her blood-red underbelly, throat, toes, and tail-tip. Her dorsal regions and muzzle shine with iridescent green scales, and the rest of her body is a rich leathery antique bronze color. Her serene green gaze shows intelligence and a hint of playfulness.

This sculpture is a OOAK (one of a kind) piece, created entirely by the hands, heart, and imagination of the artist. She is made from high quality PuppenFimo polymer clay over a strong armature. I painted her with several thin layers of artist acrylics and Pearl Ex powders, then sealed her with a matte varnish. Her wings are fabric, wire, and feathers. Three real seashells adorn her head, two in the form of tiny horns. She has anatomically realistic reptilian ear-holes (with a recessed tympanic membrane).

She measures about 10 inches (25 cm) long including wings, and her wingspan is about 9 inches (23 cm) across. She is about 5 inches (13 cm) tall to the top of her head, and up to 7 inches (18 cm) tall to the tips of her wings (depending on how they are positioned).

Thank you! I study photo references for anatomy, and probably spend far too much time on each sculpture.

Thank you so much! It's fun writing background stories for my creatures. (I'm still catching up from the surprising Daily Deviation!)

This is such a beautiful and delicate piece! I love how much detail and love went into this lovely little dragon I would be so worried about her lovely little tail breaking off! I know you said you put a strong support structure inside, so it must be in the tail too. For her sake I hope so. Fantastic job!

Thank you so much! I love your fairy doors.

Yes, there is a strong brass rod all the way through the tip of her tail. I'm using a strong clay too (i.e. somewhat flexible when baked), so I'm not worried.

It is so beautiful. When I first saw it I wasn't totally paying attention and thought it was a real lizard.

You've done such a great job with this. I love little sculptures of dragons. I actually collect them. And this is one of the nicest i've seen. You've crafted it so well with amazing texture. I especially love the wings, they're beautiful and they match your dragons information so well ^___^
GREAT JOB!!
