Mother and daughter display several stunning shades of purple, with a hint of blue. These pictures were taken pre-glazing, so the colors are not obscured by reflection. Mama's horns are palest green with a slight shimmer. Their unusual shells are conical. 'Mother and Child' are #5 in the Dragon Snail™ series.

Mama is about 4 1/2' (11 cm) long and 2 1/2' (6 1/2 cm) high. Baby is about 1 3/4' (4 cm) long and less than 1' (2 1/2 cm) high.

Polymer clay and real seashell.

Lovely sculpture work! It looks very professional, and it's always fun and interesting to view 3D pieces here in Elfwood. I think you've done a great job here Erin.
The pastel colours are very pretty and entirely fitting. Even the photograph is well-composed. I love them!

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you so much, Donna! That means a lot to me, especially since I just finished perusing your gallery... You are so talented! EVERYONE -- go see Donna's gallery!"
