Dragons, as promised =)

Finally it's time for the dragons to get their picture taken ;)
I often get ideas when I'm in my bed, trying to sleep. A few nights ago I thought it would be great to make a forest outside the "dragon-home". I will put up a wall inside my roombox, to be able to have both a inside and an "outside", inside the box =) Hard to explain, hope to show you soon instead =)
I found a perfect background for the "forest"-side of the box. I don't know how to realize my vision and make it more 3dimentional, and make a "floor" that will blend in with the background... I hope to add stones, moss and trees to the outside part..
This is the background I use: http://telusers.com/hd-fantasy-forest-wallpaper-29356-hd-wallpapers.html 
I just tried the background, haven't glued it in place yet! 

Looks like one dragon found his way to the forest already =) So did my 2-year old... 

Then my daughter decided my dragons could need some food, and after this it was impossible to take any more pictures with out her head and hands being in the way... ;)

But I manage to sneak away another day and take pictures of the dragons.
Finally my newest dragons:
I think I had some kind of beginners luck with my first dragon.. After I made that dragon head, I started working on this one, he's some kind of weird water creature =) He isn't as good as the first one, maybe because he got a body, that was harder to make than I thought.. He's a mix between a seal and a dragon ;)

 
Then I tried a dragon with wings. That was quite hard..
I'm not crazy about this one, but I guess he turned out OK in the end.. 
Another one with wings. (I see now that I have to repaint the white spark in the eyes...)
 
And at last, this one is my favourite =) But I realized I forgot about the wings... But he is so old they might have fallen off.. ;) I think wings are really tricky to make.. I have to work on that!
This dragon is very old and tired, just look at all the wrinkles in his face =) I think he is at least a couple of hundred years old..

Here they all are relaxing in the sun ;)
I don't "need" any more dragons now, but I think I'll be making more one day. Its fun to see were the clay takes you =) And the best thing about dragons, they can look how ever I want, there is no right or wrong =) (Well not how ever I want, because I can't seem to manage to create the exact thing that I want... ;) )
I hope I'll get better and better at this and I guess it takes practise to make a dragon look more like I want it, but I hate practise, I want to be great at the start, at everything ;)

I'll keep working on this project and I hope to put up a wall soon in the roombox, but I don't know exactly what I want.. If it should look like a house, or a tree or if I can come up with some other really cool idea for their home.. =) Meanwhile I'm still working on the nursery =)

  2. So when dragons are involved this means picture-taking under extremely difficult conditions? *LOL* Your inside-outside roombox sounds like a great idea - and what I like very much about it is that your box is so big that you'll need many, many more dragons. Sorry, but you're mistaken in that point - you need many, many more dragons indeed... especially if they're so lovely as yours. ;O) So go and dig your fingers in the clay to pull the dragons out!

    Hugs

    1. Yes this is a big box! It's an old fruit box from California =) I was a bit afraid to touch it, but I figure its better to use it than to let it rotten all alone.. ;)
      And you might be right, more dragons wont hurt =)

  4. Hi Hannah! The box with the inside and an outer side is a great idea :D! I can't wait to see how it will look like. I agree with Birgit: you'll need more dragons! You think you'll need more practising..? Well, make more dragons, so these dragons won't be alone anymore and it will be a lot cosier with more of them ;).

    1. Thanks Ilona! Looking at you last doll I was very tempted to try a doll of my own, maybe a nice wizard that could take care of all the dragons.. I hope to try that soon =) along with more dragons =)

  6. Hi Hannah,
    So I think your dragons are very cool. I like how they all have different personalities, wings and such. You did an amazing job! The background of the forest is very dark and mysterious..I like it. I am looking forward to seeing more of your project, but you must get sleep and not let the creativity keep you up at night ;-)
    Hugs,
    Lisa

  8. Aww they are fearsomely cute! The green dragon is my favorite he looks like he would enjoy nibbling on some cookie crumbs :)

    I think you did a fantastic job so far and more dragons might just be what will be required in that big space! Never call it practice just think of it as making more friends!

    Hugs, ~J

    1. Thanks Jane!! You gave me a great idea =) I could have the green one under a table begging for cookies =) I think he looks a bit like a dog begging for food =)

  9. I think it a great idea to have a bit of outside inside and your dragons are all great and all very differently. I actually really like your dragon with wings.

  11. They look great! My boy has been asking me to buy him some clay so he can make dinosaurs and dragons. I am going to show him your creations! He is so impatient though so I wonder how he will be able to learn if he does take time to work on it.

      Maybe he'll practice his patient making dragons and dinosaurs =) If he makes any, I'd love to see them =)

  12. I love ALL of your dragons! They each have their own personality--so cute! It's no wonder your kids HAD to get involved. Thanks for sharing! xo Jennifer

    1. Thanks Jennifer! I believe my daughter is my biggest fan ;) She loves everything I do and always want one of her own, but she isn't as careful as I am, so she only gets to hold some of the things for awhile =) But when she do, she looks very proud and happy =) I'm hoping for a "miniature-friend" in her in a couple of years =)
