I've been re-reading the whole "Realm of the Elderlings" series of books by Robin Hobb.
I just finished her "Rain Wild Chronicle" books....The Dragon Keeper, Dragon Haven, City of Dragons and Blood of Dragons.
I've also just finished watching the seventh season of Game of Thrones on blue ray. OMG eeeeek!!! The ending!!!!
So of course now I really want to make a dragon
I'm using a pattern by Melinda
Small Patterson.
I've noticed that some doll makers add arms in addition to the wings but I'm
leaning towards making it as Melinda designed it. Her dragon is more
like Smaug from the Hobbits or the dragons from Game of Thrones. At this point I haven't decided if I want to make it with the mouth
opened or closed.
I found some batik fabric at my local quilt shop with a print that
looks very dragonish. I think so anyway.
When finished this dragon will be about 28 inches long and a foot high. Sorry I still don't use metric in sewing. Old habits etc.
My online doll club asked that we post pictures on their site of our sewing rooms. I thought you'd like to see where I sew too. I have got rid of a ton of stuff over the last few years as we are planning to sell this house and move closer to my son....and most importantly....my granddaughter :)
I have a small front bedroom with a window that looks out on the street. It's nice to watch people passing when I sew.
My laptop, TV and some upright storage drawers on wheels.
My bookshelf full of books on doll making, embroidery, doll house, crazy
quilting and so on. My cutting table with two mini storage boxes that
hold my scissors and other necessary tools. My sewing machines and one
more upright storage unit.
Two big shelves built into an alcove to hold my fabric, stuffing and WIPs. Underneath those big bins hold larger bits of fabric and fake fur etc.
That bin on the bottom left usually has a cat sleeping on it.
I try to keep my room as tidy as possible because I'm not very creative if I have a mess around me.
Hoped you enjoyed my mini tour. Take care :)
