Description
I made this dragon's eye pin from polymer clay. I used a clear glass gem for the eye with white clay and golden yellow PearlEx powdered pigment behind to give it a realistic look. It looks so real, you expect it may blink at any moment...(if it does, I'm outta here!) LOL
Each scale was carved into the raw clay and, once cured, it was painted with acrylic and metallic paint.

My granddaughter is in love with all things "dragon". I would live to make something with her. Do you give tutorials?

I am interested
I really like the way you did the stylization on the surround of the 'watch-eyed' one, but prefer the 'eye' that looks like my avatar
Would you charge the same for that?

Sure, if you like I can make one up and post it in my Etsy shop and if you like it you can buy it!

Incredible detail in carving the scales...and the pearlex behind the eye lends even more realism to an already amazing piece.

You did a FANTASTIC job on all those little scales - you have lots of patience, and it pays off! And the eye is awesome!
