marsupial dragons (i would love if someone could make these!!!)
amphithere (mexican feathered dragon that "hunts buffalo and has sometimes been mistaken for a gigantic moth")
2 dragon eggs in a muddy pit, like in the story of Merlin and the dragons (where the dragons breathing in eggs underneath the tower of Vortigern cause the tower to crumble and fall each night)

Dragon flags, red and white, from same story

PolkaDot
12-27-2005, 12:04 AM
Most little dragons I have seen are about 3-5 inches. I know most of mine will fit in the palm of my hand easily:) Suzanne said her beds would be palm sized too.

I signed up for group 1 this morning and there were spots left. There was no group 2 when I signed up.

It doesn't matter to me so what ever is easiest.

empty dragon egg shell
a baby dragon emerging from a shell
dragon nest
cave
dragon's loot
playmat/scene
clouds

box or bag to keep all the dragon items together

Alrighty ... dragon ideas ...

McKenna and I are currently reading Dragonology, so I have tons of ideas ;)

dragon scales
dragon teeth
dragon dust
dragon's nest with dragon eggs
map of the world with where dragons live
mini dragon books
Chinese dragons
wyvern (2 legged dragon)
phoenix
marsupial dragons (i would love if someone could make these!!!)
amphithere (mexican feathered dragon that "hunts buffalo and has sometimes been mistaken for a gigantic moth")
2 dragon eggs in a muddy pit, like in the story of Merlin and the dragons (where the dragons breathing in eggs underneath the tower of Vortigern cause the tower to crumble and fall each night)
a red dragon and a white dragon, again from the story of Merlin and the dragons
Dragon flags, red and white, from same story
bones, from after the dragon is finished feeding
dragon tracks
saddle and reins for bendies to ride a tamed dragon
small jars of dragon's blood


For swap 3, I am going to make dragon books for the nature table. They will not be bendy sized but they will still be on a smaller scale. They will have such things as dragon writing, dragon scale samples, dragon dust samples, etc.

For swap 2, I had said I would make bendy damsels, but now I am totally jazzed up for dragon related things, so I am going to change to dragon specimens ... jars of dragon's blood, dragon's scales, dragon's teeth, dragon egg shells samples, dragon's fire ash ...

And just to tempt everyone into letting me into swap #1, lol, I will attempt the marsupial dragons ... but you have to let me in first, :lol:!!

mom2kbeth
12-27-2005, 05:25 PM
And just as an aside ... we currently have a ton of dragon dust outside our front yard, with a basket full of coins and chicken left over from dinner, because Kenna is trying to lure dragons to our house, after reading some of the Dragonology book this afternoon and last night ;)

If Hastings would like to take Dragons for #3, I would be willing to let that go and come up with something else. I really haven't had time to think about it.

Anu, here is the link to Dragonology - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0763623296/qid=1135730375/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-0074942-6636927?n=507846&s=books&v=glance

These are the least expensive that i have seen them. I had my mom get them for Kenna for Christmas and I think she paid $15 or $20 each. But they are worth every penny - they are awesome books. I want to get the Egyptology one too.

I can't measure the dragon because I don't have one myself but Bonnie could. I was going to take the green dragon and tweak the pattern a bit but leave it the same size. Unfortunately I have some of my stuff buried due to the Christmas tree so I can't get to the pattern right now.

MPR is a secret formula that is created in the full moon over a caudron filled with frog legs and lizard tails...ooohh sounds like an idea for a new swap, lol

Actually MPR is just extra love and loving intent :D

okay, who am I kidding, I cannot do hatchling eggs, lol not yet anyway!

I would really really love to make maps for group 2. I will make large kid size maps and mini bendy maps, they will be scrolled up and ancient maps(dyed with walnut ink or tea) and be worn from use. i will highlight the bigger map with 'hot spots' and there will be a story...I have this idea that dragons first appeared as pangea split up, like when the continents broke up and split originally the dragons emerged from deep beneath the earth....and that's how they got to every continent. I would love to see an ice dragon! I saw a really cool picture of an ocean dragon in the Faery magazine....will get the link later....

you could try something like this out of felt
http://www.novanatural.com/product.phtml?pr=3270&sec=414
I think if you sewed layers of felt together so that you start with a small piece for the end of cave and each next piece is bigger it would work. And you could enforce the mouth of the cave with a pipe cleaner. Just one idea.
do you have pictures of what you made?

hmmm, what would a dragon make a nest out of? They live in rock caves, with treasure piled up beneath them. Maybe they would make a nest of boulders and gems?

You could make sculpy rocks and embed treasure into it - make it kind of bowl shapped, but with sloped outer sides, more like a dog dish then a bowl really.

Or maybe they dig down in sand? Scratch the dirt away and make a hole in the ground? Perhaps you need a sand nest.

If you're looking for something bird like to cover, you can go to the craft store, and in the wreath making sections I have seen tiny birds nests (and birds and eggs) that are used to decorate wreaths. You could get some of those and cover them with something else. Then at least you'd have the basic shape.

Here is my prototype dragon. I think its too big to be a baby, maybe the daddy dragon! Its about 12 inches nose to tail and when standing, it is about 7 inches high. I made some changes, the swap ones will be red and black most likely and I added pipe cleaners to the wings. I switched to blanket stitch all over cause my whip stitch looked sloppy. I really like that it can stand up :)

I will do several red and black, but I think I may run short on black to do them all red and black. The rest will be hunter green and tan.

Marsupial dragons and I are not friends ... I have one finished and I just don't like it :( And I am realizing that I am totally dreading workign on finishing this swap because of these dragons. So Kenna and I are brainstorming to see if we can come up with something else for me to make. I am thinking I may make hatching dragon eggs, but I am not committing to anything now, lol. I will settle on something (and who knows, it may end up being the marsupial dragons now that I have lifted the pressue of "having" to do them off of myself, lol) and be able to mail out on Friday still though.


If anyone is at a craft/fabric store this week and sees some scaley looking fabric, if you coul dpick me up just a bit (1/4 yard woul dbe adequate) in any color I will gladly send pp for the fabric and shipping. I wstill can't find it anywhere :(

I am definitely doing eggs and hatchlings for group 1. I just bought 2 teeny tiny dragon molds from ebay for the hatchlings and have a ton of raw wool in the sink right now washing so that I can make some wool felt dragon eggs for the hatchlings to hatch out of :) Yippee! I am much happier right now! I will send everyoen 2 eggs and probably 4 dragons ebcause they are really small (not much bigger than a quarter). I am planning to do the dragons in a variety of colors.

Rebecca - I am planning on making the eggs tomorrow night or Monday night, after the wool is cleaned and carded. That way I will be ready to make the dragons as soon as the molds get here. I will ship as soon as I can, but it will depend on how long it takes for the molds to get here.

My "dinos with wings", as my children have lovingly called them, will go out on time. I am just so impressed with Andrea's dinos and so were my children. Way cooler than mine!!! Same group but totally different dragons. Very cool to have 2!!! I might post a picture later but I am just not impressed with myself.

I learned a couple of things:

100% wool felt is sooo much nicer than the wool/rayon blend for making small critters. The 100% wool is stiffer, the blend stretches a bit and even tears sometimes. But, I had a big sample bag that I bought from a Waldorf site and need to use it up before ordering more felt. I just love 100%wool felt. It is sooo nice!

I should have a better draft of my pattern and have more than 2 prototypes before tackling. My dog turned dragon with a long tail and wings is cool but not as cool as I had hoped.

Glad you guys will let me use you as guinea pigs for my art!!! :p
