SciFi and Fantasy Art: Baby Blue Dragon in Clay

This piece is a fired clay incense burner that I made over 2 decades ago. There was a fairly large gap in my efforts! It's a baby blue dragon crawling out of a stone... (well, *I* don't know how dragons are born!) The colors did not turn out that well, as they're fairly subtle. It works really well, though, with smoke curling out from under the wings and around the face of the dragon.

21 Dec 2000	Diedra Rater	Loading... Ok, the minute somebody sees an incense burner like THIS, I want you to e-mail me, PRONTO. I still don't understand why fantasy never made it into the classic line of cheap, overexaggerated products. In fact, I think you should take up ceramics again, and then I want you to sell me your stuff. Well, that's at least 3 votes to take up ceramics again. Maybe Sue will help me find a kiln, and I'll be all set!
6 Jan 2001	Nike Oehme (aka LadyMin)	Loading... And a fourth vote! This looks really good. And it's an extraordinary perspective. I love the little dragon!
13 Jan 2001	Joellena S. 'azul' Asher	Loading... yes, yes, do more clay! after all what better excuse to play with mud? very cool concept and well executed.
9 Feb 2001	Amy Irons	Loading... hes cute and Heck yeah do more clay! Clay is great stuff and also a wonderful stress reliever.
9 Mar 2001	Elena Vanin	Loading... It's so difficult to find sculptures in Elfwood, and this is very cute. I love the idea, the shape and the color!
24 May 2001	Stavros Tsiakalos	Loading... It is adorable. I wanna cuddle it. Oh you are such an evil person. After that woodchat 'discussion' I was kinda hoping you'd only do evil nasty violent stuff and not something so cute Oh this is not fair, how can I argue with you now, knowing you are the daddy of this baby dragon? (oh yeah another vote for more clay)
2 Jun 2001	Sarah ('Saja') Kellington	Loading... I'll add my vote for more ceramics from JV. He's wonderful. (I meant the dragon, but I spose it could mean you, too, to the extent that I know you. G). I actually like how the subtle glaze worked...it gives it depth, and makes it seem like an earthier, natural hue.
12 Aug 2001	Joanne R. Turner	Loading... J.V., Nice piece of work. Something that could be marketed these days with the increase in dragon lovers and fantasy enthusiast alike...keep up the great work, and congrats on artist of the day!!! JO.
2 Nov 2001	Carolyn	Loading... And... you have another vote. You should keep working with clay, this was really awesome. I love the overall color of the dragon. I wish they really DID sell things like this on the market!!!
27 Oct 2002	Ori Sonnenschein	Loading... Yay, a fellow clay artist. Dragons are surprisingly easeir and more fun to make in 3d than in 2d, at least that is my opinion. This is very good good color good design. Good work.
