    I recently completed a clay project for my ceramics class--we had to develop our own superhero. The way we had to create it is a lot similar to how you explained your tutorial for your dragon. You've done a great job explaining lots of useful tips, and you did a *beautiful* job creating your dragon

    When I saw you place the blue gem into the key I thought to myself that it looked like the vintage fire polished rhinestones that I sell on etsy. So... I went into my past orders and bam! There you were! Haha. I loooove your videos and it makes me so happy to know that my vintage rhinestones are helping to make your creatures even more colorful! This dragon is beautiful. 💙💙 -Laura of Moonspheres on Etsy 💙

    The colored crystals would look awesome in a cave for stalactites hanging from the ceiling and stalagmites growing from the ground. Hidden lights could be placed around the cave to make the crystals create a rainbow effect around the dragon. A gnome could walk through the cave with a torch and mini light as he enters the cavern. I left a comment before the video was finished and discovered your crystal effects. FAVORITE video!

    after I watched this, I got great ideas for my own clay dragon, but I'm just using a different clay. I'm also giving my dragon a hole other look and it is a Autumn dragon. if you could help me name it that would help! I was thinking 'Hybro' the name comes from the word 'hibernation' would it work?

    • @bluepandavideos559
      @bluepandavideos559 Před 7 lety +2

      I like the name you have right now but I have a few suggestions. You could name it Auto The Autumn Dragon?
