Artist's Comments

I did this to use up extra devil claws I had (that was until my grandmother brought me hundreds more...) I had already finished the Eastern dragon, so of course I had to do its cousin. The large size made it very complicated. I layered many devil claws and halfs to build the shape. The wings are made primarily of pointy arms. Getting them glued in place and without injury was very difficult. But overall I really love how this turned out. The curling tail, the elegant legs and wings...my favorite next to the phoenix. The Western dragon is 14 inches long, 14 inches tall, and 3 1/2 inches wide.

This is the most complicated of the group, but also one of the coolest! Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? :ohmygod:

Most people don't even know what a devil claw is, much less are crazy or bored enough to sculpt with them.

Yep, that means you have the market cornered! That's good for you! I'd keep practicing with them--never know when someone will want to buy the devil's claw sculpture franchise. :D

...If it's a franchise, does that mean hundreds of chinese men will be making sculptures out of devil claws someday? :omg:

Maaaaaaaaybe. That would be creepy, wouldn't it? Mass-produced, machine-made art?

Sorry, but that isn't art. I meant that someone would buy the exclusive right to sell your devil's claw sculptures. In return, they help you market your sculptures and stuff like that.

That's what you should have said in the first place! That would be nice. I mean, the sculptures are very one-of-a-kind and even if I do the same thing they'll never be the same (like everything else I do.) :D

That's what attracts people! They're one-of-a-kind, not only because you're the only one I know of who does it, but also because you can't duplicate it.

You should seriously consider marketing them.

Someone from Myspace has already told me to do that. His name is Matt I think...she says they would really sell at craft shows (and farmer's markets since I grow them myself.) I'll make a bunch and consider sellling them next year. :excited:
