Notes

Found this pattern… was pretty excited about it. It’s a lot of work and it’s a bit challenging so far, but I am determined. Made things difficult on myself because I wanted a black dragon hah! I want to make Temeraire from the Naomi Novik novels. Let’s just see how it goes!


And finished! This came out so great, I’m very happy with it. I’m not sure why so many people complained about the pattern. It’s not that hard, though I will admit I did have to redo a couple of things since it’s not as clear.

For Temeraire, I had to make the hands have 5 fingers (it’s a thing, he’s a Celestial Dragon) and I also added the fringe around his head. I basically modified the wing patterns to create the fringe.

Anyway, this was much quicker than I thought. You go through a lot of pipe cleaners. I was risking it by starting with black first, but it’s worth it. I’m definitely planning on making more dragons.
