Sneak Peek: Tiny Dragons

March 16, 2021 in DIY Projects

Full step-by-step post to come, but I had to share this sneak peek of one of my latest resin projects: a series of paperweights and other artful little items that involve dioramas. As a kid, I was enchanted by anything that resembled a tiny world, which I think is common. Kids have this innate desire to create tiny worlds within bigger ones, probably as a means of feeling some sense of safety or control in an otherwise uncontrollable real world. Yes, I still have my collection of Polly Pockets. #notsorry

I found all sorts of tchotchkes while sorting things in my studio and am just starting to put them in resin. Some of which are these cool 1 inch dragons that are begging to be given homes. Fingers crossed the process works! What’s your favorite tiny world?
