so I made a bunch and temporarily glued them on...
My baby dragons have stalled due to some other projects I felt compelled to do. However there was some progress earlier this month. Almost four weeks ago, they were at this stage.... Then I wondered how they'd look with tiny teeth... so I made a bunch and temporarily glued them on... In the meantime, I wasn't all that happy with how two of them resembled little cows, so I sanded off the Apoxie and started over. I built op their nostrils and also gave two of them pointed eyebrows like their parents. Then I painted them all... I continued with the beading on their bodies, and gave them all tiny teeth... In the meantime I started on their legs, drawing up a pattern, making a test sample, and then cutting them all out of the proper fabrics, sewing and stuffing them. Then I sewed on little Apoxie claws and built up their toe area with Apoxie... Pinned in place to see how they look... Then they stalled again, since they would need their wings first, before their arms and legs. The wings will be tricky to attach, and it's challenging enough doing the beading, with the thread catching on something with every stitch. The last thing I need is more appendages for the thread to catch on. But because I undertook three other projects in February, the dragons have not progressed any further. More on those next.....

Saphira hasn't laid any eggs yet, so there' still plenty of time.

Thanks. I don't know if dragons actually need anything for their babies. But I'm sure Naomi would welcome some things.

I love seeing this "future" photo of Winston holding one of his youngsters. I can see that he will be a proud Papa.
