fantasy art and tree chatter of aquariann

One of my most popular colored pencil drawings is my Peridot dragon, admiring the August birthstone he clutches in his talons. You'd think all the attention would inflate his ego, but all he cares about is the gem. The ornament has been created by attaching a decorative yarn hanger to a tabletop picture frame, so it can be displayed all year long, even after the tree has been tucked away. The size of the print is approximately 2.75"x3.75." The frame has been brushed with silver acrylic paint, embellished with silver glitter, and then distressed to show glimpses of the original frame beneath. Price is $7.50 and available in my Artfire shop with the rest of my fantasy art ornaments .

Nihan of nihanatakan design studio has cast a collection of olivine proportions. And not a month too soon, as peridot is the birthstone for August. My Peridot dragon clutches his jewel close for success and strength of heart. The gem also protects from nightmares and helps turn dreams to reality. Like dragons, peridot is born of fire and has even fallen from the sky in meteorites. It's most commonly uncovered in volcanoes, hence once being cherished by native Hawaiians as the tears of the goddess Pele. But don't cry if you can't afford any of these handmade treasures this moment - add it to your wish list and perhaps the power of peridot will make it come true.
