Lotha Greenberry and Fafner the Dragon

SOLD

Lotha Greenberry loves reading books on dragons. In fact it is his most favorite past time. Sometimes though, he tends to have his nose in a book just a little *too often, and in the meantime, life is slipping by. Tonight he has fallen asleep reading the "Big Book of Dragons" in his favorite comfy chair. However, he is not alone. Fafner the Dragon has popped in for a visit, and has become highly interested in the dragon book. He's not terribly fearsome, in fact he is merely a yearling dragon, full of curiosity and playfulness. He has yet to reach the age when he will ultimately flame first and ask questions later.

Perhaps Fafner will poke Lotha awake and introduce himself, but chances are, Lotha will have missed an opportunity of a lifetime.

Lotha's head, hands and feet are sculpted out of polymer clay without the use of molds of any kind (Pure Sculpt), and his body is soft sculpted cloth over a wire armature. Fafner is completely hand sculpted out of polymer clay and Aves Apoxy Sculpt, and painted with metallic acrylics, and sealed to protect the finish. Lotha's skin tone is from the natural color of the clay, and tinted with pastels and acrylic washes in a manner which will not wash, flake or peel off. His hair is hand rooted tussah silk, and he has mohair eyelashes that have been hand applied.

The comfy chair is hand made from many materials including wood, polyester batting, and cotton materials. His doily hand rests are hand crocheted, and the rag rug was braided cloth. His marble topped table is made from various woods, and polymer clay faux marbling techniques. The candle is hand dipped and sits in a polymer clay candle holder. Lotha's clothing is all stitched by hand, and his slippers are made from felt. The base is store bought, but hand finished in walnut. All buttons on Lotha's clothing are made from polymer clay.

The Big Book of Dragons is made from various papers, and has a faux leather looking binding. It contains over 70 pages of text (unreadable) and vintage images of dragon illustrations and photos of dragon sculptures throughout history.

Fafner Stands 12 1/4 inches tall, and Lotha would be 11 inches were he standing. The base is 11 by 14 inches. Base adds 3/4 inches to the overall height of the piece.

*Note: In no way do I suggest that reading is NOT an excellent and worthwhile pursuit!
