year of the dragon @ gr2

hello,

i'm participating in a group show, " year of the dragon" at gr2 this upcoming saturday.
since the theme is dragon, i chose to dedicate this piece to one of the biggest manga in my generation, "dragon ball z."
i carved out a dragon ball out of basswood and gave a bit of my own twist.
also made a little zabuton cushion for new friend.
here is the image:)
