The dragonling has landed

Lately I have been working quite abit with wax. Leaves, flowers and - especially - a little dragon that I have been dreaming about for over a year! However, wax is still a bit new to me, and hence I have been fumbling a bit around. But now it happened - the dragonling suddenly emerged just as I had pictured him!


After being cast, it looked like this:



Polished version:



And then I mounted it on a ring, encircling a lovely amethyst:



I have had a mold made of the dragonling and hence can produce quite a few of them. In other words, we're looking at the very beginning of the "Dragonling collection"! Right now I'm wearing this beata version, trying to figure out how to improve it. At least bend down the tail and maybe the claws a bit. Then perhaps a somewhat wider, but uneven ring shank?

I actually made a video of my qualms!



So, dear reader... what do you think? What would be the ultimate dragonling - ring (that's funny to say out loud! :-)  )

    Altså, hvor er den bare super flot. Virkelig flot lavet.
    Men fatningen virker ret høj og dominerende efter min mening. Særligt ved halens ende. Men jeg kan også se, at det er nødvendigt pga. den ene vinge. En ide kunne være: i stedet for en stor sten, kan du have flere små ædelstene, små guldkugler, måske også kultur eller ferskvandsperler. Derved vil dragen på en måde omfavner en skat af forskellige herligheder. Men det vil måske også blive for rodet. En anden ide, kunne være at bruge en mere rustik og rå sten, måske rå diamant eller flere rå diamanter.
    Det er altså en spændende ring med mange muligheder :-)
