Friday Update: Here there be dragons!

So, what have I been doing this week? Aside from singing in a performance of Rachmaninov's 'The Bells of Moscow' (lovely and christmassy!), I caught the creation bug a few nights ago and just had to make these cute little fellas :

This little guy is a baby forest dragon. He's clutching a white freshwater pearl tight in the coils of his tail (it's his first piece of treasure and he's very proud!). His name's Timolair but he's Tim to all his friends :)





This girl is a water dragon and she's a little bit older, so she's managed to hold onto this larger Swarovski ivory pearl (but then, pearls are a lot easier for her to find, living in the sea). Her name's Ruto (kudos if you know where that's from!)




Both of them are made from some polymer clay I had lying around and decorated with eyeshadow colours! They both have hooks hidden in the back and jump rings to attach them as charms or pendants too :) I really like them, so I'm definitely going to start making more. Maybe I'll have a whole line: fire, wood, stone, iron etc The possibilities are endless ;)

And yes, I'm pretty sure I'll be selling them at some point. Although, you'll have to give me a while until I stop stroking them... ;)
