\"\"<\/a>I’m getting on the road today, trying to beat a snowstorm so I can spend New Year’s with my family in Colorado, so this is going to be quick.<\/p>\n

To stay in the theme of my day today, how about a beautiful\u00a0Snow Dragon? I don’t recall snow dragons being a thing from my days of collecting and reading about everything having to do with dragons\u2014I had quite the obsession with them in my teenage years. But this is a beautiful idea of one. I just love the serenity of\u00a0Evgeny Hontor<\/a>‘s sculptures. Evgeny’s creatures are\u00a0actually created out of something called\u00a0velvet clay, not that it matters\u00a0if this is polymer not.\u00a0If you want to make a sculpture of this type, you can make it with polymer.<\/p>\n

The real takeaway here is seeing how just putting in the eyes keeps the expression of the sculpture quiet and calm. That matches the calm inherent in the color of blue which, in this piece with highlights of white, still harkens to the idea of snow.<\/p>\n

So off to see my own snow now. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are resting up. I’ll pop in on Friday with something Colorado-inspired, I’m sure. In the meantime, you can check out more of Evgeny’s work on Deviant Art<\/a> and Etsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
