Patchwork Mouse

Dragon eye painting, which I'm titling Peeping Dragon. Because I have silver paint.

That hot pink/fuchsia fur that I refound during the move is called 'snapdragon'. Now I'm trying to imagine exactly what a snapdragon would look like. I'm thinking the seated-cat body, with a stubby tail-elongation and spines down the back (like on the mayhapses). Head--maybe I can adapt the wolf head to fit? Or one of the dragon patterns I have bookmarked might work? It should have an open mouth. And probably stubby little wings. Basically gargoyle-ish. (Do I have any stone gray that would make a good gargoyle, I wonder?)

I finished another scarf, while in exile. I also made another mayhaps, mostly in exile (but I had the wrong eyes with me to finish it there); this one is full-size (because I picked up the wrong pattern) and royal blue. Since returning home, I've made two dragons. The first one, brown and copper, is not very good. So I extensively revamped the pattern. The second one, black and copper, is much better. I've tweaked the pattern a little more and plan to make at least one more before next Lunacon. But not just yet. First I'm making the blue-cow griffin. (Finally!)

Oh, and right before evacuating, I finshed another spherical cow, a commission.

Just bought some brown and gold "crocodile" suedecloth/pleather with the thought that it would make a great dragon. Resisted the shiny green leopard pleather, but if I see it again, I'll buy some for another dragon. And I keep forgetting that I bought shiny silver and gold fabrics for dragons quite a while ago. (Those two will probably need interfacing; they're quite flimsy.)

So...dragons!

I don't think I have a pattern, but making one should be easy enough. I'll test it with the silver or gold, probably, instead of the usual muslin/towel/fleece.

Next year. Or even the year after.

ETA: Turns out I do have a pattern, from Simplicity, but I don't like it. There are also a couple of free ones I can download that look pretty good. Or I can use one or more of those as the basis for my own pattern.
