Now for the Reveal of My "Black Diamond"
 
This is "Black Diamond" an old sole, a divine and strong Metallic Dragon. He guards his stones with honor and Love.
This is my challenge entry for the PCAGOE Metallic challenge for September 2012.
 
 
" Black Diamond "







 
 




 


Well that's my Dragon he was so fun to make. I had a wonderful clay day and was so relaxed creating him.
 
I created a clay cane for the wings and ears and used the ends of the cane
 
 to form his body so the body is a mixed swirling effect of the colors.
 
It looks awesome up close. Shimmers and very metallic.
 
I added black tiger eye beads for eyes.
 
Swarovski Crystal Fire Ball is being held in his tail , he keeps it safe from harm. 
 
 Lots of old bumps on this old dragon are filled with gorgeous Swarovski Black Diamonds.
 
Hence the name "Black Diamond".
 
 I created a bail out of clay and put braided leather necklace on my dragon necklace.
 
 I created my own clay bead caps to match the dragon on the necklace.
 
He is very lightweight I was surprised.  I wore him around today and enjoyed him.
 
I really enjoyed using Cfoiginals and Penni Jo's Tools with this project.
 
Every tool works so well making amazing affects and details on every part of my dragon.
 
What is wonderful about Premo accents you don't have to do anything they are metallic and gorgeous.
 
I love them. I truly enjoyed this project and have ideas for lots of brothers and sisters for " Black Diamond " .
 
  I made a tutorial while creating on how to make the dragon wing cane.
 
I will finish that up and post it a few days.
 
Its a easy way to add a mix of colors to a wing or ear that is more detailed than a skinner blend.
 
I was happy with it and excited to make many more dragons.  


Soon there will be a voting on this challenge, Anyone can vote between Sept 1st - Sept 7th.
 
I will be sure to remind everyone to vote when it is posted on the site.
