There
are lots of myths, stories and fairy tales that have dragons in them, but I am
not sure if this one comes from any of them …… he kind of “fell out of my
crochet hook”. His head/body is crocheted from some “cheap and nasty” acrylic
yarn, and his legs and wings are made from copper wire (recycled/scraps from
electrical wiring) with yarn wrapped around them, and the wings also have some
black tulle fabric (that I found in an op shop/thrift store), and his eyes are
second hand mother of pearl buttons. It probably isn’t surprising that I ended
up making a dragon - “Here be dragons” is what they wrote on
maps when there were areas that were dangerous to go … but if I saw that
written on a map I would just HAVE to go there and look. ;-)
