Polymer Clay Mint Chocolate Dragon Sculpture
I have always had a fascination with the fantasy and lore behind dragons. I like the various styles that dragons have been represented in throughout the cultures of the world and I recently decided that I needed to start making these little guys! This particular dragon is a bakery dragon! He adores cupcakes and sweets and will lovingly guard them. He is created out of Mint colored clay with an aluminum foil armature inside for strength and durability. He will also be more lightweight because of this armature. There are a series of spines that travel down his back that are made out of a chocolate colored clay and the spines on his head are made from mint, brown and tan. He even has some swirled spines! The cupcakes have been secured in to the dragon with a small amount of liquid clay. The wings were attached with wire and the whole thing has been coated with glaze for a brilliant shine. The whole sculpture has been blended together quite well so that the seams do not run the risk of splitting apart. This little dragon will be packaged carefully with cotton balls and bubble wrap and placed in a secure box. that will then be "floated" with newspaper and packing material in another box. This is all to ensure that he arrives to you safely and undamaged. He will be shipped PRIORITY MAIL FLAT RATE. From the back of the sculpture to the front of the cupcake in the dragon's arms measures 9cm or about 3.5 inches. From the tip of the tallest spine on his head to the base of the dragon measures 7 cm or about 2.75 inches. From the tips of the wings to the base of the dragon measures 5 cm or about 2 inches. Each cupcake is about 2 cm or 1 inch across. Want this dragon or one of your own custom dragons? I would be happy to work with you to make you a dragon of your very own!

About Me:
I work part time as a bookseller and part time as a student. My handmade creations take up one hundred percent of my passion and love when I am home. I really enjoy making the things in my imagination into tangible creations. I am twenty-two years old and working on a degree in Graphic Design. I currently live with my boyfriend in a one bedroom apartment that also functions as my work area. This little adventure started off as a hobby three years ago and has since grown in to a love and passion that I am working on every day. There is always new techniques and things to learn with clay and I hope I never have to stop!
My Business:
I started selling on Etsy with the intent to become a business in November of 2013. Since then, I have worked hard to satisfy my customers and earn their positive feedback. I have also started going to local fairs in my area to try and drum up some business and it has really started to take off!
My Work:
I sculpt from Premo and Fimo polymer clay and use various household tools to help me create the shapes and textures throughout my work. I used to love dollhouses and the tiny food and accessories that went along with them. I had a thought to turn those accessories in to jewelry and from there I have become a miniature dessert guru in my own way.
Often, I will have an idea in the middle of the night and my boyfriend will stumble out of the bedroom to find me working away at a new cake concept or dragon sculpture. I love making all kinds of things out of clay! Whatever inspires me the most is what comes through in my work.
