Baby leaf tailed dragon kit
Cindy sent me a picture of her finished baby leaf tailed dragon from last year’s kit. Isn’t he adorable? I love the job she’s done on his face, and his lovely curly leaves

This blog is solely for textiles, with a little bit of silversmithing now and then, and will mainly be for my historical stuff.
Please do not use my images or pin them without permission.
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...

Thanks! I had the best time working with this cute creature, and with the wonderful materials. The instructions were great and I learned a lot. — Cindy
I’m glad he got a good home
Oops, better get on with mine! He is gorgeous though and such a cute face!
cracks whip
He’s totally sweet!
isn’t he though?
Isn’t he an absolute poppet!
he certainly is
He is adorable!!! (Bookmarked for later too). So beautifully worked too. I am constantly amazed by the results from such a limited palette.
I’ve really learned to love the limited pallete thing, I always found the range of colours in things like dmc thread quite daunting
He’s lovely. I like the wing leaf, particularly. When he lifts it there ought to be a flower or fruit or something underneath.
whatever is under there I’m sure he will be surprised by it
