Hope everyone brought in the New Year in their favourite way! Mine was spent with quiet, reflective moments and in the company of family :)





And the start of my 2008 has been filled with some pretty intense dragon-making sessions...

It seems some relatives of mine have also caught the paper dragon sculpture bug and decided to make their own dragons! See some pics of our dragon-making fun below.











Check back to see these once they're complete with wings and scales!




So after sculpting and pasting our way into the wee hours of the several mornings...I have a couple dragons in the works, both of which should be availabe on eBay in the very near future.





Yes, this is what lives in the china cabinet...who really needs china anyway?





Jack-in-the-Box Jester Dragon




Check back to see these guys all done up in their winged, fully-scaled finery!

Char - I agree; it's fun to see the process and especially how each person's dragon has a different personality. I hope to have some 'before and after' pics when everyone has completed their own dragons!

Gris - yes, I took tons of in progress pics so hopefully I will be able to put together a little series again for Soulmaking Art Dolls! The sculpture you mentioned is my cousin Tabitha's dragon - she's making a sleeping dragon - it has a lovely shape, doesn't it?

Thank-YOU for the company and the enthusiasm! Your dedication to late night dragon-making puts me to shame, haha. And as for talent - I think it runs in the family ;)
Love Tammi
