Dragon Resin Collection | What I have been working on

Works in Progress Resin Dragons

Step into my creative world and you’ll find a colourful menagerie of dragons emerging from resin, each one hand-crafted with love, patience, and a touch of magic. This latest photo captures several pieces from my ongoing collection, all made using silicone molds, layered pigments, mica powders, and alcohol inks.

The star of the image is the large multi-colored dragon hatching egg. Its dramatic gradient shifts from deep ocean blues and teals at the base to fiery magentas, golds, and shimmering metallics at the top. Creating this piece required a careful, multi-stage pour that took considerable time and precision to avoid bubbles and achieve the flowing colour transitions. A detailed baby dragon is already visible, wings spread, eagerly breaking free from its glittering shell.

Beside it sits a charming purple-and-blue baby dragon figurine with bright yellow eyes and silver horns, looking curious and ready for adventure. Smaller dragon eggs in golden tones with silver dragons embossed on the surface, a pink floral geode-style piece, and various blue resin molds and cabochons complete the scene.

None of these pieces are finished yet. They still need final detailing—additional painting to bring out scales and textures, a protective resin top coat, varnish, or high-gloss finish to make the colours truly pop and the surfaces glass-like. The process is as rewarding as the final result, turning raw resin into miniature fantasy worlds.

These dragons represent hours of experimentation with colour blending, layering techniques, and problem-solving when pours don’t go exactly as planned. They’re destined for my website, Thoughtstoyou.com, where I share my handmade resin art, jewellery, and fantasy-inspired creations.

If you love dragons, fantasy, or the satisfying journey of watching art come to life, keep an eye on the site. More finished pieces will be appearing soon, each one unique and full of character.

What do you think—should I name the big hatching dragon? Suggestions welcome!  

 

Dragon Egg Creation in Progress | Made with ResinCrete

ResinCrete Fantasy Art Piece  Here’s my latest creation — a dramatic dragon egg that’s hatching right before your eyes! I’m absolutely loving how this piece is turning out and wanted to share the work-in-progress with you.

This dragon egg was cast using ResinCrete, a super versatile material that gives a nice solid, stone-like feel once cured. To get that vibrant green base for the “shell” and rocky texture, I mixed in Unicorn Spit acrylic paint right into the ResinCrete before pouring. It gave the perfect mossy, earthy green tone straight through the material.The egg itself is a deep, rich purple, that I painted on, with a glossy finish that really makes it pop. I hand-painted the cracks and rocky sections in various shades of green to create depth and realism. The little dragon emerging from the shell has beautiful golden wings and a detailed sculpted body. I plan to keep him mostly green but will be adding some highlights and shading soon to bring out even more dimension.

I’m really happy with the contrast between the shimmering purple egg, the textured green shell, and the metallic gold accents on the wings. It has such a magical, fantasy vibe — perfect for anyone who loves dragons, D&D, or just whimsical home décor.

Materials I used so far:

• ResinCrete (main casting material) 
• Unicorn Spit acrylic paint (mixed into the ResinCrete for the green) 
• Additional acrylic paints for the purple egg and detailing 
• Gold paint for the wings 

This is still a work in progress, but I’m excited to finish the dragon’s highlights and maybe add a few more details to the base. Once it’s complete I’ll do a full reveal with better photos and maybe even a short video.

Would you like to see a step-by-step tutorial on how I cast and painted this dragon egg? Let me know in the comments! I’m thinking of turning this into a full how-to series for fantasy creatures and eggs.
