Friday Roundup: The year of the dragon
It is the year of the dragon, and as a recently birthday’ed fire dragon myself, I wanted to delve into all things dragon for this week’s round-up. First up from Olga Farberovao, I bring you this touching father-son moment. Check out this firey poppa welcoming his new addition:
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:
