Hello,

Thought I'd also show off my dragon here. Nothing like Judi's lion, but I'll show it anyway! :crackup: :crackup:

I'm quite pleased with how the wings have turned out. Took me a while to develop a method of creating them. It was some TT'ers idea to use mixed media. I was just going to felt wings, but I'm glad I asked for advice here 1st.

He isn't very big. I would say 4" tall only. He is felted from head to toe with the wings being an exception.
His arms are jointed, his tail is poseable and his wings are very tough and can be bent and posed any which way. I'm pretty sure he's tough enough to handle anything.
well.........besides fire...........he he he he he

Not sure if I should sell him. He may be available on my website. More pictures can also be found there.

He is brill! I've finished felting the head of my dragon (not my pattern, a bought pattern) but he'll have to wait till after Christmas for me to finish him.
I love your dragon, his wings, his spine, everything.

He's a wonderful dragon! I love the beading on the wings. I can tell he's firmly felted and I know that is very time consuming!

Heather, as I said in another thread, this dragon is just wonderful, and the work you've put into him is evident. I really love the sparkle and texture you added with those bead accents at the wings. Really cute expression!

Heather....yes you should share more often!

I saw this little dragon over on your website and thought the wings were fantastic. I love the colour combination you have used too and his little spiny tail is cute!
