Ideas from Other Mediums and Dragon Eggs

I’ve been digging into making fantasy critters and bits from polymer clay. I live this stuff outside of clay so I am, of course, a fan of Game of Thrones. I hadn’t seen the show yet but when I started seeing fan versions of the dragon eggs I had to see what folks were doing.

This project is done with resins, molding putties and is a little more production geared than what I’d give a shot at… but the first version he used to mold is about right. I could see doing the scales from a cane. I might make a miniature version using an egg shaped wood turning or a scrap clay covered egg from plastic or foil.

Basket of dragon eggs for Easter anyone?

Contemporary Craft is thrilled to be hosting POP! – Perspectives on Polymer June 25-29, 2022.  A five-day celebration of contemporary work in polymer, the event will have something for everyone who loves polymer clay.  POP! will feature four workshops along with virtual talks by some of the best polymer artists in the country, an exhibition of small works in polymer, and a curated feature in the Store. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 25, 6-8 PM, and will be free and open to the public.

POP!’s focus on workshops and the materiality of polymer makes this boutique event more than just a conference. Each participating artist was selected for their unique perspectives on polymer and the exciting ways they are moving the medium forward. The featured instructor for the event is Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, whose pioneering techniques in polymer have made him one of the most respected artists in the field. His jewelry and sculptural objects have been shown in many national invitational exhibitions, and his works are represented in numerous private collections, galleries and museums.
