This made-to-order toy was crocheted out of mohair yarn. His eyes, nostrils are needle felted. The egg is made by wet felting wool.

Are you inspired to now… I don’t know… say turn your lil’ pup into a dragon? Help is available for this highly specific, yet completely understandable desire. Hopefully your dog will be more zen about it than this poor model.  So….viola! Crochet pattern brought to you by none other than PoshPoochPatterns:

Gunther Keil  includes a dragon in his beautiful pull-toy collection. The wings are blowing my mind, Gunter:

You, too, can be a creator of dragon toys with a pattern for a felt and wire dragon from Lynn Dhenson’s shop. This one is poseable!

According to the Chinese zodiac, dragons are not known for wanting to blend into the crowd, so these steam-punk goggles from Robin Red Masks could be considered “business-causal” (Disclaimer: if you come from outer space and this image came up when you Googled “business-causal,” I’m super sorry about that, alien friend. I’ve mislead you.)

Perhaps you know of a dragon-to-be? Get that tiny, hot-off-the-presses little behbeh started with some fierce  scales. Brought to you by Chicksalejunior:

Luckie Duckie Designs can help round out the ensemble with these baby booties:

If you are looking to add some +int and +spirit, try these dragon bracers on for size, from XtreamLeatherworks:

Last, but so classy it can never be least, this elegant pillow cover from Fabricate:

• Yeti & Friends Trophy heads

I’m interrupting my previously scheduled post because I found the Etsy shop of Yeti and Friends. Who are Yeti and Friends, you ask? Why it is a fellow who makes yetis (and presumably his friends) into trophy heads. It seems a bit sad and macabre and not at all becoming of a vegetarian such as myself to endorse trophy heads, but these heads seem pretty happy about being decapitated and mounted. I mean, look at this pretty little girl depicted (and decapitated wakka wakka) here. Pure bliss on that furry little maw.  So to each their own, ya know?

Anywhoddle, I had the pleasure of having a booth next to these guys at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco this past October (it’s like an even nerdier Comic-Con).  Their booth was constantly packed, they brought tons of yetis and were completely sold out by the end. They were incredibly friendly and thoughtful booth neighbors and the products were very high-quality. Seriously Jim Henson-esque. Given the fact that I have the rare opportunity to share something I’ve actually be able to see first hand, I was excited to stumble across their shop on Etsy. Be sure to check out their diverse offerings of heads!

Yeti & Friends Trophy heads

I tried to think of a clever title for this post, but really – why bother? They’re UNICORN. POOP. COOKIES. As soon as I saw them in a recent GeekChicDaily newsletter, I had to run right over here and share them. Then of course, I discovered teh Internets have already shared them just about everywhere, including i09, geekologie, GeeksAreSexy, The Mary Sue, and Laughing Squid. OK, so a scoop of geek-crafty news, this is not. A scoop of poop, however, it is. Sparkly, tasty poop.

Instructable-r KristyLynn put together a tutorial for creating your own steaming pile of unicorn poop…cookies, right in your own home.  According to her, the “poop” is made of sugar cookies, rainbow dragees, rainbow star sprinkles, white sparkle gel, and rainbow disco dust, but I think we GeekCrafters know it’s really made of rainbows, Lucky Charms, and fairy dust. Or perhaps you have a more imaginative ingredients list?

Also, while you eat your “mythically delicious” baked goods, you might want to wear this Unicorn Poop t-shirt from NeatoShop:

For example, how about a dragon made out of recyclable materials!

This is a sculpture was created by~toge over on DeviantArt using only plastic kitchen utensils and hot glue.  It proves that they can be just as concerned about our environment as we are.  We need more positive press about dragons so that our society no longer discriminates against these reptiles! Remember, dragons want love and respect too!
