Artist's Comments

This is my favorite item I've made using polymer clay. This chinese dragon is a 3-D relief on the flat red background, with the gold-color frame. This was my second chinese dragon brooch attempt, as the first attempt ended up being so big, it was more belt buckle size than brooch size. Lots of detail work. I like making pins and brooches. The possibilities are amazing to me.

And this is just exquisite. :butterflytwo: It's so bold and detailed, it looks like it belongs on an Empress's silken sash. (or, due to size, on her bodyguard's belt *laugh*)


Enjoyed,

LG

Thank you, LG!

The photo is larger than the actual brooch. The brooch is about 3" high, by 2 1/2" wide. I went for zoom on the photo to get details. Now, if I ever finish the first chinese dragon pin/brooch/belt buckle...well, that puppy will be at least 5 to 6" wide. Yikes.

Thank you! This was the first time I tried something like this with polymer clay. I thought I was going to lose my mind while I was making the dragon part of the brooch, but I'm happy with the end result.

This is really quite beautiful.
The detail rocks, but I think I like it because it's unique.
I haven't seen anything like this, you're really combining Oriental aesthetics
with something very different - brooch making.

I'd SO wear it.
