The making of a dragon and her baby sculpture
This page shows the creation of Firky's dragon and her baby sculpture being made from clay. The work is started with an idea which normally then becomes a vision in Firky's head. If time permits, the clay is out as soon as possible and being formed into the basic shape. Often, the original idea changes slightly as the shape is formed.
Once the basic shape is formed, the sculpture is left to dry.
When the clay is dry the detail is then started.
Great care is taken as the detail is scraped into the very fragile clay.
