Happy Dragon

[ZenDruid]

My wife likes dragons so I made this for her. Experimenting with materials: the support is a heavy plastic eye chart 11x22 in. that I had on hand and wanted to repurpose - the dragon is a clipart download from the net. I used rubber cement to glue the two together. Then I used Liquitex Modeling Paste to slather a skim coat all over everything to stiffen the support and add texture. Acrylics over all. The green character is the Chinese symbol for happiness. Two plastic poster struts went up the sides to stiffen it. C&C welcome, thanks for looking!

Charming. I see you are still liking that Christmas green. Well matched color here.

Thanks Wayne. It was a Christmas present. But I do like bold colors.

What a fun process! It turned out so well and it's no surprise that your wife is pleased. Now you have me thinking of what I may have laying around that needs to be repurposed.

Thanks Donna! I've also painted pull-tab catfood can lids and turned them into Christmas tree ornaments
