This beautiful Dragon Snail was born blind. No need to pity him, though.... He more than makes up for his lack of sight through his other senses, and "sees" the world more completely than you or I do with our eyes wide open. His curved horns and shell help funnel sound vibrations, and his tongue and other organs give him a plethora of sensory information. He is renowned among his fellow Dragon Snails for being a cunning and efficient hunter.

First Sight is #16 in my Dragon Snail™ series. He is 4 inches (~10 cm) long and 2.5 inches (~6 cm) tall. His eyes are white tiger's eye beads, and he is painted in several layers with Genesis Heat Set Artist Oils.

Polymer clay and real seashell.
