I love wood. I grew up with the scents of wood and glue, since my Dad has a workshop with all tools imaginable. He has always created things – still does actually – like Gyro Gearloose.
This little dog I made out of red meranti wood:
The brass frog once scared my neighbor. Senseless. She screamed and ran away. I was showing her the black wax model I molded. She thought it was real:
I crafted both the dog and the frog a long, long time ago, but they live where ever I live. Sturdy pets! 😉
Last year I created this silver-green dragon. It has been a guest at Figments before:
Witness its birth:

It has been many years since this dog came into existence. I don’t even remember what tools to use, I would have to buy them. Perhaps, Angel, perhaps one day a cat will appear.

First I applied the green, but that was too dull. So I added silver, and that did the trick. So nice of you to comment! 🙂
