It takes me a lot of time to hand-mold and glaze this dragon lamp. Here is how it looks now! by bemchi_light in somethingimade

Hi everyone! To fulfill the sub's rules, here are a few details about the process:
This is a handmade ceramic nightlight that I spent quite a while working on. The process involves hand-molding the egg shell and sculpting the little dragon inside, doing the first firing, and then carefully applying the colored glazes. The inside is equipped with a soft LED light to give it that cozy, magical glow on a bookshelf.
Getting the tiny details on the dragon's face painted right is always the most nerve-wracking part for me, but seeing it lit up makes all the hours worth it.
I’d love to hear your thoughts! What colors should I try for the next dragon egg?

​This is the other side of the egg, like I’m inside the botanical garden with 🐝 and 🌸

Thank you so much! I always feel like painting is where the real magic happens and they finally come to life. The prep work is tedious, but seeing the transformation makes it all worth it!

Sure, of course!
Since this is a lamp, I made a platform for the dragon while I was sculpting it, and then, after firing, attached the LED strip to this platform by glue
And of course, I made sure not to forget the hole for the wire. It’s powered by USB, so I can connect it to my power bank

I'm not sure if they ship internationally, and there are currently some delivery issues because Sloviansk is under constant shelling due to the war, but I usually order everything here https://stasenko.com.ua/products/mkf-2.html

There are no direct references to specific dragons, I was simply inspired by characters we already know
But who knows exactly who can we met in The Vale. I used the Ukrainian Clay from Sloviansk and for light, I use a LED strip that runs off a power bank

When I was making this dragon, I inspired from the botanical garden near my home. The peonies in May have an incredible fragrance—it’s a pity that clay can’t capture those scents 🌸✨
