Description Second in a set of seasonal deer-dragon hybrids, this is the winter version. He features a glittery, snow-white hide, gracefully curved antlers, crystal-spotted flanks, and bare-branch wings hung with icicles. He stands with one paw raised, balanced carefully on the other three. A snowflake crystal adorns his forehead, showing his power over cold and frost.

I was inspired to make this guy by PolymerClay 's January Craft-along, as the theme is winter. This is actually what prompted me to go back and finish the fall deer-dragon that I posted yesterday, as it made me want to make a set for all four seasons. As you can see, I decided to try to get the balancing on three paws pose right, and this time I succeeded. I've also wanted to do a set of icicle wings like this for a while now. They're a combination of translucent clay icicles and transparent, liquid clay to give it that organic, just-froze-on-the-branch look. 'Cause that's totally a look, right? ^^

Crafted from colored, oven-bake polymer clay, liquid clay, and Swarovski crystal elements.

This dragon has been sold, but you can still visit his listing  to view additional photos.

How do you get them to balance like that? I want to do a set of dragons with beads (like the popular dice dragons), and I'd like for a few (one at least) to be posed like this with the bead under the raised paw, but I don't have enough wire for a full body structure.

HowManyDragons In reply to Kinlock9 [2015-01-28 02:17:10 +0000 UTC]

If you're short on wire, you can use something like tin foil as a core for the body. I use a small armature for the bodies of all my dragons, but I only use wire to strengthen small slender parts, like the front legs of this guy. He didn't even need wire in his hind legs because they were sturdy enough already.

Kinlock9 In reply to HowManyDragons [2015-01-30 22:40:16 +0000 UTC]

Tin foil is a good idea, I'll try it for sure! I'm so jealous of your hind legs; I can never get the haunches to look thick enough.

HowManyDragons In reply to Kinlock9 [2015-01-30 23:10:52 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I'm still trying to get the 'perfect' look for my dragons' hind legs. It's coming along slowly. The only way I'll get there is to keep making standing dragons.
