Dragon Mod Finished

Draken's Big Finish






Long ago in a far away life I used to make hand beaded moccasins.  Last night after putting everything away I remembered that I still had some leather scraps stowed in a bag on my shelves.  The pieces are small, too small for a doll cloak or a pair of human mocs, but plenty there for a top and bottom for Draken. 
Draken's top is cut from one piece and strings through the sides to criss-cross in the back.  The yellow tint of the deerskin is a great compliment to her deep violet and purple hues. I cut everything unevenly to make it look more authentic, more real.  She didn't buy this in a store.
We started on her hair as well.  One bit of fluff at a time.   She will also have hair on her tail.
The hair is Tibetan lambs wool dyed black with pinkish tips. Also a left-over from a past project- but there is plenty for tiny Draken to have a nice head of hair and have her tail look respectable as well.


Okay, guess which outfit she prefers?  Aww, you guessed.  Deerskin it is.  I will have to stow the other outfit for another doll.  Clearly, this is it for her.  This, the cape and the boots.  Draken all the way.  Now, I need to finish her hair!



Ta-Da!












A happy Draken.  No more fittings, no more glue.
I so wanted to take photos outside- but the wind was blowing  much too fierce- maybe tomorrow.

  2. I second Ashley - Love the switch-up to the leather clothing! They look much more dragon, and all-in-all she looks simply amazing! Bravo! I would love to see some pics of her out in the sun, sitting on her mountain-top, which would really show off all intricate features, like her skin, with all it's beautiful colors.
    I guess I'm curious about her personality... beyond what one might infer from her looks. You said she's a mountain dragon... does she collect things like dragons in some stories, and have a stash she protects? Does she live a relatively easy, peaceful life, or is her life as a dragon harder, and the things she needs to survive not so easy to come-by. The story-teller in me is interested in what little tidbits of info you have imagined while you were creating her... :) Sorry if you feel this is a nosy question! The hard-wired dreamer in me is always imagining, and genuinely wonders if these thoughts go through other's minds when they create wonderful things...
