The Dragon Wreath

This holiday season, there will be a new wreath in town for your door! Some people may still opt for the traditional pine boughs, but for those who love big scaly fire-breathing fantasy creatures, there is the dragon wreath.

This piece I modeled out of solid clay and then cast a plaster mold for. After casting the basic piece, I applied individual hand-formed scales to the neck. When it is finished I will post the results!

Renewal

The last month has been a bit of a slump for me. I haven't felt like going into the studio, and none of the work I'd planned out excited me. Maybe I just needed a break because the ennui has finally lifted and I am happy to be back in the studio being productive!

I am also inspired to post more often because I was reminded that people are actually reading it-- thanks Lisa! When no one leaves comments I feel like I'm talking to a tree :P I have enabled anonymous comments (you don't need a blogger account) so say hello, my anonymous readers!

Pictured is a mini tile and magnet I made. I was playing around with an underglaze applicator. The odd bird (bottom right) wandered through my daydreams as I worked.
