| Dannon's Dragon |
No
one knows better that pet ownership is a such a great responsibility
as Dannon, who decided to raise a dragon as his pet. He had enough
problems when the dragon burnt his slippers, ate his newspaper and
flew right off his leash. But now that the dragon is looking to start
a treasure hoard of its very own – starting with the Faery Queen's
jewel - Dannon is starting to think about keeping a pet hamster instead.

Dannon's
Dragon is completely hand sculpted without the use of molds. The
sculpture started with a glass gemstone which was fashioned into a
birch base so that it would stand on its own. The little red dragon
was sculpted and cured first using polymer clay, hematite and mica. After that, an armature was created out of steel and aluminum
for Dannon's form. The armature was drilled into the birch base and
sculpting began with his body. His armor and clothing were also hand
sculpted out of clay and a touch of paint and mica powder was added
to accentuate the metal of his mail. His hair and hand made wings
were added. The whole process took
just about a week to complete.

I'm bringing Dannon and his ambitious little pet to the NH Renaissance Faire this weekend, along with Alula, Meeka, Willow and a bunch of gnomes! :D
