Description
Finished the mod & blush/ face-up of this little creature!
This tiny dragon of only 6 cm (2.4 inch) high cost me a whole lot of trouble.
The owner wanted it to be inspired by white lipped pythons, titanium-fired geodes and oil slick: Iridescent rainbow galore!
The blush itself was difficult enough, but of course I had to make things harder on myself by suggesting an extensive mod:
A geode stone embedded in the belly.
Turns out real geodes don't come that small, or else they're pretty boring: No big spikes.
So... I made one myself.
A base shape out of aluminium foil and black epoxy clay.
Shattered glass beads and high quality metal powders for the little touches, but most of all:
A whole lot of spikes, crafted by forming transparent iridescent foil (basically Christmas tinsel, but as a sheet) over carved crystal shapes with a tiny blow torch, removed, and painted black on the inside, before carefully cut to shape and embedded on by one into the "stone".
I think I out-crafted Mother Nature on this one, but it's unlikely I'll ever do it again: It took me four days just to figure out HOW to do it, en then another 3 to actually make the stone. And finally an afternoon to embed the thing, after the rest of the blush was done.
The spectacular glittering qualities appear best when moved around under a light source, but it's difficult to capture it on camera! I'll try to shoot a video of it, to show the sparkliness.
