Dragon No. 2 is born! This felted dragon is bigger than my first try and a bit more complicated. I learned a lot making him. I did find some wonderful instruction videos online about felting creatures and it helped me make this guy a lot better than he would have been otherwise. Kay Petal is the artist I spent a lot of time watching. Her videos are lengthy but have so many great tips for wonderful felting. I really admire people who share their expertise freely so that others can get started. So Thank you Kay Petal!

So my new dragon is a Fire dragon and his name (courtesy of my daughter) is Firenze. I made him using a wire armature for support and pretty much made him up as I went along - looking at some images for inspiration of course. I thought long and hard about his wings, at first thinking I would felt them. However, I like the look of the transparent “tulle” wings I have made for my other dragon and the fairies, so I just went with that. I’m still struggling with feet. His turned out a lot clunkier than I hoped, so I need to figure out what to do about toes. However, I’m thinking my next creature will not have feet at all, so that’s a solution right…?! ;)
