FLYING DRAGON SCULPTURE
By C. Maria Plieger
I completed this commissioned flying dragon sculpture in
August 2002. With its 38-inch wingspread, shipping this
dragon proved a bit of a challenge. In fact, getting it
out of our house was a bit of a challenge! (My husband ended
up taking the front door off its hinges so we could get
the shipping box through.) Anyway, the flying dragon is
safely in his new home in Texas, where he will "soar"
loftily below a cathedral ceiling.
The dragon's body is made chiefly from paper clay. Extremities
and protuberances such as horns, claws, tongue, tail tip,
and wingtips are made of strong polymer clay.
