Hello fellow makers! If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve been quietly working on a brand-new resin sculpture series: the Three Wise Dragons. These little guys are my playful twist on the classic “see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil” proverb—except they’re adorable, spiky, and full of personality.
In the photo above you can meet the first two members of the trio: The fiery red-pink dragon is cast in ResinCrete. He’s solid, matte, and has that lovely stone-like weight. He’s my “See No Evil” dragon—paws pressed sweetly over his eyes, looking both mischievous and wise at the same time.
The vibrant blue dragon is made with clear epoxy resin. He came out beautifully glossy with a deep, jewel-like shine. His expression is more curious and watchful—perfect for the “Speak No Evil” role.
And the best part? The third dragon—Hear No Evil—is still tucked away in his mold right now. He’s being cast in a light, transparent green epoxy that I’m really excited about. Once he’s demolded (hopefully later today!), the whole trio will be together for the first time.
Next steps for all three: Light sanding
A few coats of sealer
Hand-painted details (tiny gold accents on the horns and eyes are already planned)
Maybe a soft gloss on the eyes to make them pop
I’ll be sharing the full reveal + a step-by-step “how I cast them” post once the green one is out and they’re all finished. These little dragons have been so much fun to make—each one feels like it has its own tiny soul.
Would you love to see a full tutorial on how I make these (mold making, resin choice, demolding tricks, etc.)? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Creating!
