This week’s dragon has an oriental flavor. Meet Wen, who is faithfully guarding this little pagoda.
If you’d like to see my other dragon creations so far, I’ve made a Thursday’s Dragon Pinterest board just for them.
Click on any of the photos for a closer look.
No, I didn’t make the pagoda, but got it in the aquarium section of the pet store!
I just love his silvery flowing mane, beard & mustache.
I made his eyes over a year ago (and shared a bit of the process here) and am thrilled with how they look. Don’t think I’m going to go back to plain black beads anytime soon.
He’s got Swarovski crystals along his back. These are flat back hot fix so they get glued on with the heat of the oven. (A nifty trick I learned from Christi Friesen.)
The Chinese name Wen means “cultured” or “ornamental” which totally suits him, but I mostly chose the name of a character in Tiger’s Quest.
Check out this post on Errol, dragon #1, for the details on why I am making a dragon every week in 2015.
Ooh, I think he’s my favorite so far. 😀
Mine, too! Although my favorite is usually the one I just finished. 😉
