Description Sculpture created from Apoxie and Polymer clay, mounted on a brass rod. I like the idea that it is a childrens source of amusement, but also dangerous. Kind of like a giant lawn dart, or riding a bicycle without a helmet.

how did you mount it on the brass pole? i would love to sculpt carousel type creatures but can't fathom how to mount them on a pole!

also, i've been obsessively reading your dragon bust tutorial and i want to say that i am so grateful that you did such an extensive tutorial on sculpting. i had never even considered taking up sculpting but your tutorial made it feasible and i've started dabbling in it. i love it so far! thanks for introducing me to sculpting!

Yeah, I loved the fact that it was meant as a children's play thing, yet could eat a small child whole. I love dichotomies.

HAHAH!! Lawn darts... hehehe... too true.


but this is a looovely piece! My mom owns a collection of carousel horses (not her own, someone gave her their collection), and seeing all the cutesy stuff on that makes this a wonderful diverstion. Perhaps you could sell this idea to someone and make millions? Dragons on a carousel... I'd've been the kinda kid to ride the dragon, i'm sure. *ehem* enough goofin' around, tho. This is a wonderful piece, the colors you used are magnificient (I love the sheen!), the form is well excecuted, and the composition makes it appear as though it could exist on a carousel somewhere. Nice work!

Ah thanks! Yeah, cutesy just doesn't do it for me. I like off the wall, dripping with irony. I really need to do another carousel dragon soon I think.

They are metallic acrylics. Fun to work with, or should I say play with. I emailed my gallery and info but haven't heard back anything yet. Maybe they are busy or somfin'.
