This week’s dragon is part of a scene I’ve had in mind for a long time. Actually this project is one of the reasons I started my weekly dragon challenge.

Click on any of the photos for a closer look.

There were always so many ideas in my head but I never seemed to be able to find the time do them. This challenge has certainly taught me a lot about using my time well and just how much there IS time for.

To learn why I’m making a dragon every week check out this post on Errol, dragon #1, for the details.

The lady is based on one of the projects in Dawn Schiller’s FaeMaker. I love that all of her clothes are the leftover pieces of fabric from clothing I have made for myself. Perhaps sort of a self-portrait? (Minus the pointy ears, haha.)

The heart brooch is actually an earring that was my grandmother’s. I used to wear them all the time until one got lost. This is a nice use for it. 🙂

The trunk is an inexpensive one I got a craft store and then painted with Swelligant paints and patinas. I love how it came out so old and crusty looking.

I also love how this piece tells a story. Or if not tells the story, at least makes you wonder.

Who are these characters? Just what is in that bottle of glittery stuff? Is she going to heal the dragon’s tattered wing with it? What is their relationship?

I’ll leave it up to your imagination to fill in the details. Feel free to tell me in the comments what you think the story is.

Oh and here’s a little video I did, just showing it from a few angles.

If you’d like to keep up with my dragon creations this year, I’ve made a Thursday’s Dragon Pinterest board just for them.
