Crystal Dragons
I just started making these crystal dragons. The eyes are made with real crystal gems. In addition to the ones shown here, I will also be offering sunstone, aqua, moss agate, prehnite, neon apatite, moonstone and citrine dragons as well. If you would like to request a custom dragon please email me details. If you have a stone in mind that I do not have, I would be happy to order them for you, but it will take a few weeks longer for the stones to ship to me.
Crystals are believed to have their own unique healing energies and properties. The idea is that your dragon will be your own little guardian and help fill your space with these magical elements.
Note: Shipping times on custom orders may vary, I will keep you updated on the progress of your orders. Labradorite Dragon
The Labradorite is supposed to be the most magical of the crystals. The Inuit people, who discovered it, believed it to be the aurora borealis, trapped in the stone, that gave it these ethereal colors. According to legend, when someone from their tribe struck the stone with a spear, most of the aurora was set free. To them, the aurora is a spiritual connection to the ancestors. Perhaps, that is why this crystal is thought to provide a connection to the spirit world. The stone of magic, protection, creativity and spiritual connection.
My Thoughts
This dragon, the first of its kind, I named in honor of my Nanny (my Grandmother), Norma. Soon after I decided to quit trucking and pursue my dreams, I found out, on the road, that my Nanny had passed. The heart of our family, the strongest, funniest, most amazing and beautiful woman. It was her 65th Wedding anniversary. Her relationship with my Grandfather taught me what love and commitment truly was. They gave me something to aspire to and learn from. I love her so much and it has been so hard pushing forward, but she believed in me. I have felt her with me every step of the way. This dragon was the first artwork I created when I came home from my Grandparent’s house this summer. Believe what you want about crystals, but making this dragon did help strengthen me through my grief and helped me feel closer to her. The last thing my Nanny ever said to me was how lucky I was to have gotten to see the Aurora Borealis. What I realize now, is how lucky I was to have gotten to know her.
Rose Quartz Dragon
The Rose Quartz is the stone of love, compassion, and empathy. Whether you wish to strengthen your relationships with others, or need a little more self love, this is the crystal for you. This beautiful, feminine dragon took weeks to complete. There are so many intricate details I put into this dragon. I really just went with my heart and turned off my mind while sculpting her. Rose and twisted thorns line her spine, an opal heart rests atop her head, numerous rose quartz are embedded throughout her scales and eyes. I painted her many colors before I realized my color scheme inspiration. I was inspired by my dried roses, darkened, but preserved in time. A symbol of love, memories and how fleeting time is, but also how long memories can last if you protect them. There are hints of a green flash when the opal is seen in the light-I also painted this iridescent flash color in scales throughout the body. These details must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
The Rose Quartz Dragon will be available for sale, but only in person at fairs I will be attending, due to its many fragile details. I do not wish to risk it arriving damaged through the mail. To check which fairs I will be going to, please check my Instagram for updates.
Moonstone Dragon - Nocturae Lunithar
In the time before dreams were tamed, when the stars still whispered their secrets to the trees, there was born a dragon not of fire—but of silence, silver, and stardust. Nocturae Lunithar, the Moonstone Dragon, was forged in the breath of the goddess of the hidden night. Sculpted from comet ash and bathed in the light of seven moons, her body glitters with constellations that map the lost realms of the Fae Sky.
It is said her scales were painted with stardew and midnight ink, her horns twisted from fae-forged silver, and her breath carries the scent of frozen galaxies. Each moonstone embedded in her body contains a captured dream—stories untold, wishes ungranted, magic not yet born.
Nocturae does not guard gold. She guards secrets—the kind too ancient to be spoken aloud. She sleeps curled around the memories of forgotten deities, only stirring when a soul with the heart of a wanderer dares to listen closely enough to hear her song.
To gaze upon her is to remember something you’ve never known. To touch her is to forget why you were ever afraid of the dark.
Lore
Process
Sculpted like the rest of my dragon collection, with a base of aluminum and polymer clay, the curve of the spine mimicking the shape of a crescent moon. The phases of the moon sculpted and placed on her sides. Her wings inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry night. All 12 zodiac constellations carved into her body, each with a little quartz crystal inside. Her horns made of twisted silver-coated copper wire. Her spine, wings and teeth are lined with real quartz crystals, beneath each is a layer of iridescent paint, to give the illusion of light shining through the stone. Her eyes are 2 genuine moonstone tear shaped crystals, and her “third eye” is a genuine round moonstone. Her body is painted with a mixture of pthalo blue and iridescent color shifting acrylic paint. This dragon has no ears, because where she lives, there is no sound.
Weeks of careful planning, crafting and love went into her creation. She is priceless to me, but I will be taking her with me to fairs and maybe one day, for the right person, I will be willing to let her go.

Spirit Animals
This collection is inspired by many things: my love of animals, Native American totems (specifically the Ojibwe people,) the praying Goddess statues from Zelda, and my favorite childhood movie, Brother Bear. Each animal represents a unique spirit. Whether you’re cunning like the fox, protective like the skunk, resourceful like the raccoon, prepared like the chipmunk, or defensive like the hedgehog, one of these little critters will be there to guide you on your life’s path. Put them where you’ll see them everyday to remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be. Or simply admire their cuteness. I will be making many more of these guys, so if none of these are right for you, stay tuned, as yours may be next.
If you’re a fan of Zelda games, you’ll recognize these adorable little forest dwelling creatures as koroks. If not, you may know a Zelda fan who would. Polymer clay sculptures sitting on top of a hand carved and stained tree stump. I also made a few mini korok stumps to go with these little guys.
