Total rubbish on TV last night, so I got the waxes out and bashed out these. Two dragons for Ebay and a little oval which will go in a paperweight.....which is a bit of an experiment....not made any before, but I quite like the idea of doing something a bit different so thought I'd have a go! The Stand-off ![]() Scorched Earth ![]() Tiny Faerie (paperweight oval approx 3"x2") ![]() The oval was as fiddly as hell to do, by the way! Maria x |

Thanks all. I did another couple of paperweight pics yesterday too. One is even smaller than the first! I was squinting like mad by the end of it!
(Shouldv'e gone to Specsavers!!!)Anyway, I'll bung them on here as well. Purple Falls ![]() Waterlilies and Dragonflies ![]() Going to see how well they sell at fairs before I do any more though. And if they don't sell...well, people can expect them in their xmas stocking next time! Maria x |

The dragons are so expressive - the way the tail hangs casually on the log - really conjures up two battle weary souls. It's not just about colours and techniques, but getting feeling into paintings is the real magic Especially love the colours in the foreground on number 2. The paperweights must look lovely with the light reflecting on the glass - it'll be interesting to see how they do at the fairs..good luck M love x

Only way I have ever managed to photograph any paperweights is a straight vertical view,, which then doesnt show the paperweight itself properly

I don't suppose placing them on a black background might diffuse the reflections a bit? Love x
