It's like a puppy that just rolled a ball at you and then looks up with a look of, "PlAy?!" So adorable!!

I do sell on occasion. But the time it takes for me to finish them is awfully long because of my day job.

I can imagine. I sculpt in polymer as well, though I'm no where near as good as you!

I've adored your dragons for awhile, and I myself do dragons but with ceramic clay. I've never had to worry about painting them because the glazes do all the work for me, but I am making a dragon head out of super sculpy for my dad for Christmas......What paint did you use for the metallic look, without making it look tacky? I started to paint him with regular acrylic and I'm not sure I will like it. Could you help me?

Thank you very much. Sure here's a few tidbits that may/or may not help. I used a generic glossy acrylic paint. The main thing to worry about when painting a sculpture is to never let the coats get too thick. Paint as thinly as possible. Either add some water to the paint, or get a paint thinner. Oh, and never use just one color. Try to blend in a highlight color while the paint is still wet. When the paint has dried for about a day. (Yes a whole day) Then you can put on a very thin coat of glossy varnish. I usually use krylon. Don't over do it! And varnish outside please! I know its cold. If you can; leave the sculpture somewhere ventilated but not freezing as it could crack. ;D

She is so adorable. This is the way I imagine a dragon looking like. Not all mean and cruel but cute and kine of like a little puppy.

Hmmm... just to be honest, I liked the unpainted state more. But I have to say, she does look pretty awesome for a teacup dragon. ^^

Yes it does dry out. If you don't want to waste it, bulk out the large parts of the piece with crumpled aluminum foil and mold the clay around it. Have fun!
