DRAGON ART
Unique Sculptures by C. Maria Plieger
Although I'm no longer working in soft sculpture, fans of these dragons have let me know that the pieces displayed here inspired them
to create their own dragons! So, I am continuing to show them here by popular request.
Having said that, I HAVE (at long last) begun work on a new dragon sculpture! It will likely be quite similar in appearance to the soft sculptures, but will be using more traditional sculpture methods and materials. If this piques your interest, please do check back from time to time; on the other hand, please don't hold your breath, as I also have a number of other projects in the works!
Then again, if you urgently require one of these dragons, I might be inspired to accelerate the creative process. So if you'd like more information,
contact me and we'll see what happens. (Please put "request dragon info" or something like that in the subject line, so it will catch my eye.)
Dragons of Paper Clay, Fabric and Polymer Clay
These dazzling dragon sculptures should be seen "in
the flesh" to be fully appreciated. All but the flying
dragon are primarily soft sculpture -- sewn, stuffed
fabric shapes with a wire armature -- with some of the smaller
details sculpted in polymer clay. They have further embellishments
such as tiny sparkling beads, sequins and ultra-fine glitter.
A quilting technique was used to texture their throats and
bellies, and their features were formed mostly by needle-modeling.
The green flying dragon sculpture, which hangs from a wire,
is made of paper clay, cloth maché, and papier maché.
