Cave painted and Dragon head almost made

Today in Talent Development I painted the cave's under coat but it won't stay the mucky mustard colour that it is at the moment. I will then get into detailed colours and effects next week. Today Libby and I put clay on the body of our dragon and made it's head with tape, wire and tin foil. The great thing about tape, wire and tin foil is that you can make it do what you want. Next week I will be doing details.

Dragon Project

As you know our theme for Art Talent Development is Dragons, Mythical creatures and Taniwha's. Today I started in a group of three to produce a dragon themed paper mache and clay project.
In my group there is: Libby, Grace and of course me. We are all planning on making a serpent wrapped around a cave which it's egg lies in. This is all going quiet nicely and on the cave we are planning on sticking on rocks/pebbles (for texture) , vines (for extra effect and a dragon-like fantasy) leaves ( just because we can... plus we could sell it for more $$$) and we are hoping that if all goes well we are wanting to also going to put flames coming out of its mouth (we will do this by clay and then paint it so it looks like the serpent is shooting flames!).
