Silver Dragon with a Mini D20 Dieby *DragonGirlRindi

Artisan Crafts / Ceramics, Pottery & Clay / Miniatures

I try not to let other peoples' work influence my own, but when I saw

's little dice dragons a while back, I was really thrilled and inspired. Dragons and dice together - it's perfect! D20's are such an awesome shape, but I thought that the regularly sized dice were just a bit too big for my dragons. After a really long time of searching, I managed to get my hands on some adorable mini dice - I think they are about 60% the size of standard dice... and they are JUST the right size for my dragons to hold. Win!

Also, I am always forgetting to take pictures that show some sense of scale, but this time, I remembered to include a quarter! Most of my dragons are about the same size (approx. 2 inches tall), so this image is a good reference of scale.

This dragon has been sold, but you can still see additional angles at my Etsy.

what temp. do you bake your dragons at?

*DragonGirlRindi May 11, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I follow the directions on the package - most of the time, it's 275 degrees, and 15 minutes per quarter inch of thickness. I usually bake mine for 25 minutes and they come out fine - I think the temperature is more important than the length of time, when it comes to preventing scorching.

i have tiny ones that are thin, and i baked then at 350 for 10 min. It worked fine, just some beads started to melt, but hardly.

*DragonGirlRindi May 11, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

350 sounds a bit high. I recommend checking your clay's baking instructions - some of these clays can release toxic fumes when they're baked under too high a temperature! >_<

i use sculpey.... now im scared!!1

i threw the package away along time ago.... but i think it said 275 at 12 mins.....

*DragonGirlRindi May 11, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Yes, Sculpey's directions are 275 degrees for 15 minutes per 1/4 inch thickness.

~Icy-Cami May 11, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

ok, i'm good. since my dragons are less than a 1/4 inch, i suppose 10 mins will be good. phew.

where do you get the materials to make your dragons? i would LOVE to make something of my own with the cool clay you use

*DragonGirlRindi May 9, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I use oven-bake polymer clay. It comes in lots of pretty colors and can be baked solid in your home oven. My favorite brand is Premo Sculpey, but I also use some of the Sculpey 3 specialty clays. I usually get mine from Michaels, but any crafts store should sell it - just ask the next time you're in one!

~wolftail1999 May 9, 2013 Professional Filmographer

thx so much

if i ever get some of this clay and make something, you'll be the first to know
