toenails and spikes

progress, day 3

the tiny legs are only about 3/4" long, but they took me all stinkin' night to work up. i believe i'll take a nap before attempting the wings. :)

progress, day 2

it's tricky to show the size difference when the original stands up and the miniature doesn't, yet. (plus, i thought i had their noses lined up, but apparently not. oops.) but the miniature dragon's body is just less than half the length of the original. i wasn't sure i could make something cuter than the original dragon. now i think i might be proving myself wrong.

my eyes. my eyes!

working in miniature is hard on the eyes. :)

cuter in minature

the yarn on the left gave me the fierce and friendly dragon i posted a couple of days ago. he's about 10" long. tonight i bought the string on the right. i'm wondering if it will yield a dragon small enough to hang from a rear view mirror.



i bought a nicely variegated thread for the spines. they'll look like fire. :)

what the what?!

it's july.

did you know that eating twizzler nibs with a fork prevents you from getting that greasy residue on your fingers? and that not having that residue on your fingers means you don't have to wash your hands after enjoying said nibs? and that not having to wash your hands means you can enjoy them whilst crocheting?

because stopping the crocheting to enjoy a nibular snack would just be too much to ask.
