Some interesting photos taken recently.
I recently entered into a Craft Swap on the Med/Ren Wedding board. I am making two crafts. My first craft came to me on my birthday.
Zaha and his box.
the box is 5 3/4" wide by 9 1/2" long by 3" tall.
You will probably look at the dragon and the box and Zaha and say they don't look alike. but you must understand Zaha. His ia stubborn and manipulative dragon. He is out to rule the world. When I made him (he is the first of his "type") I made him in white fabric. I then gave him his little crest because he needed it. Then I sat there and asked him what color he wanted to be. I had a red/purple dragon, a blue/green dragon. a red/magenta dragon and a blue dragon. He says he wants to be Golden. Okay, I can do Golden. Yeah right, he turned out to be ORANGE! I dislike orange very much. but he was so happy he had tricked me. The he wanted his beard and mustache, and of course his fire like spine tuffs (Made of 3 colors of thread.) He thinks he is bigger than he is. and he has mastered mind control, I swear. Zaha has beat my alarm clock into submission, you never hear a peep out of it. He is next to my side of the bed.
Next is a picture of Appalala, the Buddhist River Dragon. He is a Vegetarian, with a very sweet disposition. My husband has adopted him so he has his honorary place next to his side of the bed. One night my husband took off his glasses, and being funny stuck them on Appalala. It looked so good. now Appalala is begging my husband to make him a pair of glasses (he said he would, just hasn't decide the styling yet.)
he last picture is of my drunken Privateer, that scoundrel Jasper Drake. He has had one too many mugs of grog. (okay the truth is he fell off the shelf, which is why there are lots of little papers all around him) Look at how the pleats of his coat are. My husband is jealous of that coat. I did make his brother a nice wool 18th century coat, lined with linen.
