This green dragon is my largest solid sculpture. It was made from armature wire, foil, paper tape and Super Sculpey polymer clay. The base is wood and was bolted with a screw that I could wrap the armature around, making sure that the structure was stable and solid. 

​

This project was such an experiment for me, to test just how big I could go and how much detail I could add. It was also the first sculpture made from polymer clay that I fully painted with acrylics. Before this I was used to mixing colours in clay and using mica powder pigments.

​

The scales you can see over the body were made using a tool I created for the project. I made indentations on a circular lump of clay and baked it, once baked I could roll it over fresh clay and it would leave the impressions- like a texture stamp. 

​

This sculpture sold in 2021 to one of my amazing followers on TikTok, who had been following its video progress.

This dragon was more of an art doll, with a wire skeleton, padded body wrapped in fabric and painted in acrylics. Two kinds of wire were used for the armature, and duct tape to secure the joints.

​

It sold about 3 days after its creation, at one of my market stalls in 2021. It was bought by a previous local customer of mine, who now has a small collection of my art dolls.
