"Dragons Breath"
chin view

Measures 6.75"x1.5" at the rim. The dragon, made of Oregon Myrtlewood, was turned on 4 OC axis (no carving, not even between the horns). The upper stem was turned on 3 OC axis. The "flame" is White Mulberry dyed red.

In the light the yellow of the Mulberry shines through the red and it looks fiery, but I couldn't quite capture that with the camera.

Comments and Critiques Welcome.

P.S. A little credit and thanks to Frank Penta. I took a class with him last year on this subject. He's a great teacher. The article by Barbara Dill was a treat as well.
