Dragon Horns

Each horn is feather-light yet covered in ridged, overlapping scales that catch the light in deep blues and holographic shimmer — the kind of detail that looks like it took forever but sits comfortably on your head all day. Charity Grace builds the cores from loosely shaped tin foil, wraps them in foam clay, and layers on those scaled ridges with a simple pinch-and-blend technique. Great for a dragon cosplay, a fantasy villain, or anyone who wants to turn heads without getting a neck ache.
