Description Another commission by , here's America! This is the first of the Hetalia dragons where I decided to move away from using the character's uniform as the base color. I didn't feel like making a brown or olive dragon, so I decided to pick a nice contrasting color... and I have always liked that green pearl color. This gave me the chance to put America's bomber jacket on and have it stand out. Light gold horns match his hair color and the darker golden wings match the star on his chest (which you unfortunately can't see very well in this shot).

I've made glasses for my dragons before, but this is the first time I've added lenses! Since America's glasses are only half-rimmed, it seemed a bit odd to not include any lenses. I really like how they turned out, though they were pretty fiddly to put together. xD

Crafted from colored polymer clay, glass bugle beads, wire, and plastic. Sealed with a gloss glaze.

Haha, I've made a bunch of Hetalia dragons at this point - you can see links to the others in the description section.
And yes, I thought the anime was pretty funny, though I've only seen the 3rd season because that's the only one that was on Netflix. xP

Wait, where in America do they only have half-rimmed glasses? Is it the US? Cause I have literally seen only one person wearing those kinds of glasses in my life...Not to say I don't love this! It's so adorable, especially the glasses! Did you use craft plastic for the glasses?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

HowManyDragons In reply to ClaycraftDecor [2015-09-04 04:51:50 +0000 UTC]

Haha, this is based on the character America from the anime/manga series Axis Powers Hetalia, where the various countries of the world have been personified. These are just what the character's glasses look like, I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually wearing glasses with that half-rimmed design.

For the lenses, I just used some thin, clear plastic from a food container.

And those glasses are some of the cutest I've ever seen! What did you use for the lenses?

HowManyDragons In reply to SnowStormNinja24 [2015-09-04 12:37:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The lenses are made from a cut up plastic food container. Knowing me, it was probably a salad.
