The dragon is constructed entirely from borosilicate glass through flameworking techniques, with each element individually shaped and fused while maintaining the material's structural integrity. The body is formed from larger diameter tubing that is heated, shaped, and sealed to create the main structure. Floral blooming elements are created from pulled glass that is manipulated into petal-like forms while molten, then carefully attached to the body through controlled heat application. The borosilicate material allows for complex joining without thermal shocking, as its low coefficient of expansion tolerates temperature differences during assembly. Details including scales, claws, and facial features are added through progressive layering and shaping. The transparent quality of the glass allows light to pass through the form, illuminating internal structures and creating dimensional depth.
