Made in Spring 09 in my ceramic class. It recieved Honorable Mention in the Spring Student Gallery.

Out of the semester this was made in, its one of my favorites. This semester was a lot about exploring and finding my niche. Unfortunately, it'll be my last semester in ceramics for awhile as I'm going into a culinary program. Right as I was starting to learn my style. Oh well! i'll get back to it eventually.

This dragon is a high fired (cone 6) ceramic piece in a studio glaze we've named floating red. The glaze goes from yellow to reddish colors to black.

*stares at it for a loooooooooooooooong time then gets to blinking* that is wonderfull !!! I wanna have it !!! how big is it? Didn’t it take forever to get all the small details in?

:-) Megan (Stormphyre) Perez replies: "Its roughly 9’’ at the base and 6’’ at the tallest point. When I started carving scales, it probably took me an hour or so. When I get working on those, I just kind of ..zone out to everything else lol. Actually constructing the whole thing probably takes me 5-6 hours (I’ve never timed myself for sure though). The reds, blacks, and yellows, however, are something that was unplanned that the glaze does on its own. With the exception of the vast yellow on the base, that was an over coat. There’s not really a way to make colors go there and here with this glaze but I’m absolutely thrilled with how it did go! This one is not for sale as I’m rather attached and fond of it and the tail would probably bust in the mail :< Along with the horns. But I have other things for sale on my etsy shop! Small sculptures will eventually start making an apperance on there. 18 Thank you for your comment and interest!"

Just beautiful1 My wife Lynn (purple dragoness)does ceramics for fun, and glazes can indeed be weird. But this turned out so good. Lynn makes a lot of teapots, since she is such a tea drinker. you do really nice work.
