Hi Stephanie! I just wanted to let you know that I've featured your work in a post called November Birthstone Dragons by Various Artists on my dragon artwork blog (with proper attribution and links back, of course). I love this piece, and even though I was looking for orange topaz, I couldn't pass this beauty up! You can find me at Writing Dragons, and this feature here. Take care!

diamondwhitewolf Featured By Owner Jun 18, 2007

this is amazingly gorgeous batch of metal work from form to settings to all of it! So did you use Carving wax or molding wax, and did you cast with the stones already set in the eyes, or did you set those after? and is that a scotchbright or sandpaper finish? Sorry for all the questions but when I see such amazing work I go into question mode!

StephaniePride Featured By Owner Jun 28, 2007 Professional Artisan Crafter

Thanks I'm glad you like it.
I made a master from carving wax and then had a mould made for the others. The stones were set after. The finish was a low polish (Sanded and then a light tripoli polish) for the face with a high (rouge) polish inside the ears.

and no probs about the questions, I do the same thing
