this was a commission for @lovesodeepandwideandwell! She turned surprise unicorn colors—I used a violet underglaze without testing it, and it turned quite pale and translucent in the firing. Despite the surprise, I'm pleased with the results.
[image descriptions: photographs of a ceramic sculpture of a dragon in pale white, pink, and cream colors. She has four legs and no wings. The dragon crouches with her body and tail curling, head held high on a long neck and eyes looking upward curiously. A ridge of raised scales runs down her back, and smaller, subtler scales are incised into her body. Her nose is pink and heart-shaped. Her eyes are blue with big black pupils, and her smooth round head has four straight round horns and two ears with fluffs of ceramic 'fur' in them. Her paws are catlike. The dragon's body is cream with delicate shadings of pink, and her head and limbs are a pale whitish color which makes her scales' dark outlines stand out.]
Step by step 🐉
This dragon is based on fury-type dragons from How to Train Your Dragon world. The sculpture was made to order, the character belongs to the owner.
Sometimes it's good to acknowledge your own talents. I may be useless in society but I am fucking amazing at sculpting dragons. No one can take that from me. Anyway here's my latest baby so far, and I'm streaming the process of sculpting this dragon on twitch, every morning at 10am (eastern)
(I was inspired to make this by @eyenaku . Her creations are absolutely stunning and gave me a huge boost of motivation to make a sculpture of my own! Please check out her work if you can)
This is the largest clay (sculpey ♡) piece I have ever made so far! The base model was made entirely out of aluminum foil, covered with a sheet of plastic wrap, and then I taped it down to hold things in place and form the base shape. Tedious, but extremely effective!
A lovely vintage floral dragon I originally made for my first time vending! This darling is still available for adoption (sh0p Iink in my profile)!

This is Saoirse (pronounced sersha)! She’s a polymer clay Siren dragon with black jasper eyes
As a Siren dragon, she generally likes to hide out around rocky beaches and collect shells and pretty rocks. They are named after the sirens from mythology due to their remarkably similar sound (that sound being melancholy hums and short melodies). Though they are beautiful creatures, they are very shy and don’t like interacting much with humans. They much prefer lounging around in seagrass and playing in the rocks.

It has another long fin on its back and it has two horns. It is curled around three simple swirled shells. All of the shells and fins are a light violet colour.

This is by far my favourite mold and I have had so much fun playing with it and my polymer clay <3
The first 2 pictures are all magnets and the final photo are earrings! I've almost used up all my purple clay so I promise I'll make some more in different colours soon haha. Let me know what colours you would like to see and if you'd like more magnets, earrings or anything else!

Polymer clay is my main creative hobby outside of drawing so I just make what I want and put up for sale bits I like or bits I might not want to keep for whatever reason! It’s just a bit of fun to do while I wait for enamel pins to finish manufacturing haha)
