I just joined the ArtFire community, and now have a shop there. So far, I just have this dragon pendant listed, but more items will follow.

A Dragon and a Kitty

Here's a couple more that went into the Boulder Handweavers Guild sale. I don't usually do blue dragons, but I did one this year, and a tabby kitty fairy.

Celtic Dragons

At this exact moment, I'm procrastinating finishing up a scroll which is illuminated in beasties and characters from the book of Kells. This book was made in a monastery in Ireland over a 1000 years ago its name is where the word celtic came from.

So, this scroll reminded me of all the other celtic things I have around the house, including these little celtic dragons I made years ago. There's one each for each member of the family and each member got to pick their colors.

These are made from a pattern by Melinda Small Patterson that was published in Soft Doll and Animals. This pattern does an excellent job of producing a dragon with the look of something that had just popped out of the book of Kells. The pattern was supposed to be enlarged, but I liked it this size. Other than that, these are pretty much directly from the pattern.

Dragon!

I finished up my new dragon today, and added the wings posted below. Technically, he's a wyvern which is a dragon with two wings and two legs. The word wyvern came from the word wivere which is a Saxon word for serpent. So, this wyvern is definitely one of the European types of dragon, and similar to many common in medieval heraldry.
He's a little over six inches tall so is a little guy. Could probably sting a bit, but wouldn't take out too much flesh if you angered him.

Dragon Wings

Here's a pair of dragon wings I just made up, waiting to be put on a dragon. Just need to finish beading the dragon and then he gets his wings. The wings are just 4 inches long.
