Brenda sent me a pic yesterday of her finished piece from the class at the Ashmolean, her name is now draconem domina. I’m especially lovin the last minute addition of little bluebirds.
The bluebird of happiness fears nothing, especially not dragons!

This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.

My interests range from ancient greek to tudor periods, and I tend to be an artisan rather than an academic - not that I don't do research, I just prefer getting my hands dirty.
I dye, spin, weave, sew and embroider, and have been doing so for several decades...

That bird really is fearless, but probably only as long as it can eat the fruit growing on the tree.
Must be yummy fruit
I think the boot is on the other paw – that dragon looks a bit anxious about the bluebirds!
Bluebirds fart glitter, which is deadly to dragon kind…
Dear Heaven, what concept!
