Description ...and...he'll fish for gemstones?! See more angles of this guy here .

I made this ceramic turquoise bowl/pot way back during the first couple weeks of a sculpture class in high school. It's not my greatest work, being basically practice, and the opening isn't big enough to hold much, so it's pretty much been a shelf-sitter.

Feeling suddenly creative the other night, I decided to put a dragon on it. And why not make him fishing? Though whether he's managed to catch a gemstone or is using it as bait, I'm not sure.

The dragon sits at approximately 2 inches tall, while the whole piece is about 4 1/2 inches from base to fishing pole. He's made from basic oven-bake Sculpey with beads for eyes.

I was planning on selling him, but leave it to Mom to suddenly speak up and say she always loved that pot and there's no way I can get rid of it. Doesn't help that she loves purple, too. Oh well, I can always make others...

And thus begins a new era.

Give a drake a fish and you will feed him for a day, teach a drake to fish and you will feed him for life.

Yep, that's what I was referencing with the title. Too bad it's such a long statement

YES! I watched Secret to my Excess twice in a row when it first aired. ...Though that might have been because I lol'd at the re-shelving day that Twilight had (I totally do that with my books, too!). But yeah, I love the little Spike/Rarity relationship <3

Hum... "Teaching a dragon how to fish for facehuggers" ... Sounds like suicide. (I only say this because the vase or pool or whatever s/he's on looks like an alien's egg!)

You can fill it with water right? If you do sell it I hope I can buy it ^^

I think it's okay for water... Don't know that I've tried before. We have cats, so I'm afraid they'd try to get to it and knock it over

Okay. Yeah you're right I have 5 cats so I guess it wouldn't be smart
