Description

I've never been all that fond of Fimo's Ice Blue Quartz effect color as it's rather pale and bland. However, Libra-In-Red  showed me that it is a really great base color for turquoise Pearl-Ex mica pigment, so that's what got me started on this dragon. I knew I wanted to showcase that beautiful shimmering blue, so I ended up giving the dragon darker points on the extremities, like a Siamese cat. And since I was working with this wonderfully chilly blue color, I decided to make this an ice dragon. She has sparkling holographic icicle horns and wings, as well as some strategically placed ice crystals on her shoulders, head and back. As an extra detail, I added a few larger holo flakes around her ice crystals - extra work, but I think it really adds a lovely final touch to her.

I made this dragon about six weeks ago, and she's still my absolute favorite dragon that I've ever made. I've been sitting on those glass chunks for a few years at this point and never really knew what to do with them, so I'm thrilled that I finally got to put some to good use.

Crafted from Fimo and Premo polymer clay, Pearl-ex mica pigment, glass, holo glitter. This dragon has been sold.

Elemental, my dear!

I've done a few of the more serpentine Asian-style dragons. They've kind of evolved into their own thing at this point - I've taken to calling them noodle dragons instead. Here are the ones that live in my gallery:  www.deviantart.com/howmanydrag…

Oh wow, this dragon is incredible! I love the subtle shift from blue to clear from the limbs of the dragon to the tops of the crystals. And the glitter just gives the piece such a transfixing effect. She really reminds me of a glacier. Fantastic job! I can see why she sold so fast .

I've been following you for a long time and I just want to say that your dragons have gotten so amazing. They've always been cute and well made but I can really see where you've progressed and improved. You've done so well

Hey, thanks for writing this, I really appreciate it.
Sometimes I worry that I've hit my peak and there's no room to improve, but I'm always wrong. There's always more to learn, more to discover. Even I'm excited to see what comes next, because right now, I have no idea. xD

The ice crystals are actually glass. I wish I could get polymer clay as clear as that, but it just isn't possible.

No carving here. My sculpting is more like careful shaping and assembly. But I did make it entirely from scratch, so thanks!
