Tag As FavoriteComment

"Selva" is #11 in the Dragon Snail™ series. Dark green and subtly dappled with blue and mossy green, Selva moves through the forest virtually unnoticed. His shimmery pale horns twist and curve, and his keen black eyes seek out his prey. He stands about 3 inches (7.6 cm) tall and 4 inches (10 cm) long.

Polymer clay and real seashell (not shown).

It's driving me insane trying to get my head around your talent!! These dragon snails look realistic enough so that seeing one while I'm walking through the woods would come as no surprise!! ...and how DO you get them to shimmer so???

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Hi again, Esther! Thank you so much for your effusive comments! The shimmeryness is part glossy varnish, and part shimmery clay that I talked about in my response to your other comment on Azul.

I'm so tickled that you wouldn't be shocked to see one of these guys in the woods. 2 That put a big smile on my face. THANK YOU!!"

I have to agree big time with Esther. I could totally see myself stumbling across one of these guys!
