Finished Dragon Head Ornament

Dragon Head
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00117

Last Friday we spent part of our day at the Pea Poddery painting some ceramic pieces. I took an awfully long time painting this head over and over again. I had to make sure that I got at least 3 coats on the whole thing in order to get the blue the darkest it could possibly be. I wanted to make sure that the dragon also had spots where the blue wasn’t as dark and that there was also some purple. I am really happy with how it came out. They had some special paint that exploded little bits of sand or something to make it speckled. That gave some interesting texture to the paint job.

I had just started listening to Eragon again and of course Game of Thrones has been on my mind. So I was inspired to paint my dragon like Saphira and the White Walker Dragon, Viserion. Although Viserion would probably be closer to a whitish-blue.
