Birthstone dragons update

September, Sapphire, I don't know what happened when I was photographing this one, somehow the white background kept picking up a blue/purple tint from somewhere. Most annoying. Better photos here

This one is probably my favourite so far, October, Opal. It kinda came out feminine so I am going to do another one with a blue belly. More photos and the etsy listing here

Birthstone Dragons

I've been working on a new series of dragons this past month, Birthstone Dragons! I started with June as I started the series in May and I wanted to list them in the shop as soon as they were done. Logically the ones that would sell would be the dragons whose months were closer (gifts and such). 

So here is June Pearl:

Tricky to photograph the dragon and get the pearl in focus at the same time especially as my 35mm lens has just broken :(

July Ruby:

A bit of planning has to go into the colour schemes because Ruby is red just like Garnet and I don't want two similar dragons with only one difference.

August Peridot:

This one casued me the greatest difficulty with the colour scheme, I was stuck on this for quite some time which is why I am not as far into the series as I would have liked at this point. I was going to leave it and work on Septembers but I am glad I persevered as I think this one is my favourite so far.

June and July have already sold so I am planning on restocking them soon but August is going to be in the shop today or tomorrow? (still waiting on the varnish to dry). 

So that's what I have been working on so far. 

Moar Dragons

This time Girls! I am in love with all these ladies 

And they are all up for sale in my shop. Also all the Etsy shops have got a new look so I think you should go check it out :) 

Fimo update

The oven is no longer broken! hooray! So I have been super busy after my holiday to Wales restocking the shop with dragons: Started off with restocking the popular Dragon's Dust series

Then I did some D20 Dragons:

And currently waiting to be varnished are a dragon couple and this little one is about to be listed in the shop:

Sculpey Swans

I really loved my original swan that I made last year and it was on my to do list to make a pair. After making my pheasant I got started on these guys, the male has the brighter beak. 

In other news the oven has broken so at the moment so I cannot make any polymer clay pieces :( so there won't be any clay updates for a while. 

Oh and before I forget Paint palette earrings have been restocked and have a new design! Have a look here (these were made just before the oven broke)

Sketching Saturday

Here is the next page in my sketchbook finished this week. Birds of Prey or more specifically falcons. I am really loving using biro at the moment!

Shrove Tuesday

Yay Pancake earrings!
