This fun fantasy dragon candle holder was sculpted by hand in Premo polymer clay and is a one of a kind creation. The three inch tall dragon was sculpted from a custom mix of blue sparkle and green Premo polymer clays. His belly scales, horns, and spines were sculpted from a mix of pale yellow and glow in the dark clays. After being exposed to bright light for several minutes these parts will glow in the dark. The dragon's wings were sculpted from a mix of silver and blue clays. His eyes were made from green sparkle polymer clay and he even has a tiny red tongue and tiny white fangs.. His skin has been textured as well. The base of the candle holder is green polymer clay and is covered in yellow, red, orange, and pink polymer clay flowers and green leaves. The bottom of the base is covered in green felt and measures five inches at the widest point. The actual candle holder is a two inch tall, 2 1/2 inch wide glass jar that I've recycled. I wrapped the top edge in pale blue polymer clay. I gave the dragon two coats of high gloss glaze, which really brings out the sparkle in the blue and silver clays. I've signed and dated the bottom of the piece, so you know it's an original creation. You can also find a series of video tutorials on making this candle holder at http://www.youtube.com/creativecritters.

This candle holder was inspired by Spring flowers and my love of fantasy, and dragons in particular. This is a very happy dragon, who loves lounging in the pretty spring flowers ;-)
