Glass Krayt Dragon

TaManX of the Official SWG Forums recently posted some of his personal artwork and I thought that I would share it with the community! TaManX's personal comments can be found by reading on!
    been wanting to make one of these for ages, but im usually too busy with paid work, life or playing the game, but i had some time today, so here it is, fresh from the fire. hope you enjoy it pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 *awesome feedback, it's extremely encouraging to receive so many positive responses. thank you so much. as for those of you asking about prices, i really have no idea, i made it as a challenge to myself and not with a sale in mind. however it's something i'll look into soon. there's a big joint american/australian convention of glass artists coming up in south australia in may (a lot of american glass artists and collectors will be hitting our shores Down Under), until then i'll find it difficult to find time to make more, as i have 3 exhibitions coming up to make work for. after this i'll see about nutting out some more and addressing your requests. thanks again for your responses *i've had a few PMs on the dimensions on the piece and a couple of other questions , i should have included that in the original post in the first place height to the tip of the tail is 8cm and the length is 16cm the piece is solid, not hollow, so technically it's not blown as such, although it's possible for me to make a hollow one being solid lends it a little more weight the glass is borosilicate glass, which is a kind of glass used in scientific lab- ware because of it's low expansion under heat (ie it's less likely to break due to thermal shock) the colour is not paint, it's all coloured glass, which i import from the states (it saves time compared to making it myself) hope that answers your questions cheers Tamanx Yamade www.angelfire.com/theforce/cearn1
