When I started working with polymer twelve years ago I started making animals. Including a few--dragons and mermaids and sea serpents--who live only in my imagination. You don't have to follow the rules or make it look like something specific, if you make it up :)

I love the feeling of the clay. I can add to it, carve into it, push it around and bend it to my will in my never ending quest for world domina--

Wait a second. Wrong website. It's all about the art, yeah that's it. ;) My dragons will not come to life when you're not looking and take over your domicile. That's just preposterous.

Anyway, I tend to work small--the smallest bas-reliefs I've done are about an inch square (so far the largest is 12 inches). At that size, they can get lost on a shelf, but they're the perfect size to hang around your neck or pin to your lapel. That's how I got pulled into making jewelry.

Take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions... Or if you know how to make those pesky zombie dragons keep quiet at night.
