How this was made:
This beautiful zodiac dragon was handsculpted with polymerclay around a wire armature, then painted with acrylics and glitters before being glazed once with polyurethane varnish and again with epoxy resin, to ensure maximum strength and durability of its spines and limbs.
Personality:
The Pisces personality (that this zodiac dragon is based on) is one of compassion, wisdom, and an abundance of creativity that goes hand in hand with a willingness to delve into the depths of the imagination and the spiritual world. They can go so deep in fact, that they are often in danger of getting lost in their own elaborate dreams! Pisces knows that a touch of magic is essential in creating a life worth living - and their creativity makes them extremely adept at generating this spark of mystery and wonderment, both in their own lives and the lives of everyone around them.
Depiction:
The symbol of Pisces is two fishes swimming in opposite directions, yet connected to each other in an eternal spiritual dance. As such, this Pisces dragon has been sculpted with many added fish-like details; wings that resemble large fins, tiny scales all over, and the usual dragon spines down the back have been changed to look like lots of small fins. As Pisces is a sign under the element of water, this dragon has also been lovingly hand-painted so that its body resembles the dreamy colours of the ocean - deep blues, turquoises and greens, with blue and green glitter adding that extra dose of magic that Pisceans are so famous for.
Extra information:
From the 'extra additions' drop-down menu, please select whether you would like this dragon to come gift wrapped, with a personalised story, with both, or with neither, before adding it to your cart. :)
Zodiac Dragon - Pisces
Any finished sculpture or item of jewellery of mine that you receive, should be relatively strong, but not indestructible. As such, adequate care should be taken to ensure that the piece is out of reach of pets, children, and the possibility of being dropped, as you would with any other fragile ornament in the home. That being said, it will be certainly be strong enough for moderate handling as you examine it and admire its unique features! :)
Will I have to pay extra for shipping/postage?
There is no additional charge for postage - all is included in the price of the dragon.
How many creations can I recieve from you in one go?
In one parcel, there will be sent a maximum of two to three creations, depending on their size. If you feel like going on a larger shopping spree (and I would not mind if you did!) expect to recieve two or three at a time, in different parcels that may be delivered on different days, depending on whether the creations you have ordered differ in the time they need to be prepared before posting (for instance, if one of your purchases includes a made-to-order item). Sending a couple of creations at a time in smaller packages is to keep postage costs down on my end, as I do not charge extra for postage, and one large parcel costs far more to send than a fewer smaller ones.
How long will my order take to get to me?
If you live in the UK (where I am based) you can expect your parcel to arrive within one to two weeks once I have posted it off. If you live in the US, your parcel will likely take two to three weeks to arrive after I have sent it. It is important that these shipping times are taken into account if the item is needed before a certain deadline (e.g as a birthday present) as well as if you have purchased a made-to-order item.
What is the difference between waiting for a made-to-order item and waiting for a pre-made item?
If the item you have ordered is classed as "made-to-order", that could add a maximum of an extra week on to the time it will take to reach you, from the moment of purchase (due to the time it will take me to hand-craft your purchase from scratch). Don't worry though - if the item you want is made-to-order, it will say in big letters at the top of the item's description. If your item does not say anything about it being made-to-order in the description, then you can assume that it is a pre-made creation, and therefore will be ready to be posted to you in a maximum of two to three days time.
