Description

I'd been wanting to make a crystal dragon for so long, but the idea of trying to make my own clay crystals was pretty intimidating. I finally decided to just go ahead and do it. I mixed up some colored translucent clay and got to cutting...

Oh my gosh, I am so happy with how the crystals turned out! It was a lot of slow, painstaking work, but the effect is so cool. I love the dimensionality and detail, and I just can't stop myself from picking this one up and admiring it.

Crafted from polymer clay, alcohol ink and acrylic paint.

Makes me think of an ancient dragon asleep for so long that they've started to grow crystals on their hide...
