Description
Download for full view.For all who don't know, this is a dragon made from a minimal wire base with layers of hot glue. I have a couple different glue guns because they maintain different temperatures and have different sized nozzles but my favorite one to use is a cheap 2 dollar blue glue gun from Wal-Mart. When I was small, I loved hot glue. I would have it drip on me when it was not too hot and play around with it. I have a passion for using unconventional mediums to create art and this is by far one of my favorite materials to use.

Super cool...I have been wanting for a long time to find a way to make figurines similar to plastic...looked into clay but it seems very expensive. This is probably much less expensive...Do you use any tools to help shape the glue? Can it be painted on? I love all the textures you've managed to put into this sculpture, they look amazing.

Thank you very much! Yes it can be manipulated with heat, but I primarily use the gun to shape the glue as it's being applied. I've used a wood burner on hot glue to add certain details, and it works to a certain extent. It can be painted on as well. I've used acrylic with a clear varnish over it, and then I've used Krylon spray paint as well. I have so many ideas to use things but I just haven't much time to test them out, but glue is an awesome alternative to a breakable material, my inspiration was my cats that kept knocking breakable dragons off of my shelves. I've never been more content with a medium c:
