Welsh Dragon - Cast Paper
$43.00
Welsh Dragon - Mini
The mini version
The national symbol of Wales, the Welsh dragon is said to be about the size of a large dog, about three feet in length. Rather small for a dragon, he makes up for it with a fierceness and determination that demands respect. His red coloring is an indication of fiery temper, so it is considered wise to stay on his good side.
The frame dimensions are 8" x 10" and 3/4" deep.

Paper Casting
Paper casting is to me the perfect medium. It allows me use almost every skill set. A typical piece begins as a drawing or two. Then I sculpt it in wax. This is a long refining process and often the image sculpted is far different that the drawing. Then I build a dam around the wax and pour a rubber mold directly off the surface. A casting is made by pressing wet cotton pulp into the mold and extracting the water. Then I finish the surface.
While every piece that emerges from the mold is about the same, no two are really painted the same. Maybe I would if I could, but the painting process is always in flux. I am always experimenting with ways of mixing colors or washes and hard edge or new pigments. I send about 75% of my time with the painted finishes.

They really do look even better in person. I am very happy with my order and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from this shop again. Really stunning works of art, and despite nationwide USPS issues, received them in record time. Thank you!

The item was shipped very fast and was well wrapped/protected. I was impressed by the artwork. It looks more stunning in person. I'm very excited to give this as a birthday gift.
