I had a nice optimistic post pre-written and just waiting for the pictures of the Indicolite Dragon and... it's not done. It's so close! I just need to finish its eyes and then sew the head on. But the eyes are so very, very tiny. I should have machine-embroidered the whites, I'd be done by now, but I didn't. So I need to print out a template, then cut out some ultrasuede, then bond the incredibly tiny gems (2.7mm!) to it, then stitch them on. Oh, and I gotta figure out how to connect to the printer, or else I'm printing to the label printer (which might not be a bad idea now that I think about it).
So instead today I have (1) listed some dragon plushies, (2) drafted a new dragon head, and (3) drafted new dragon wings. It's been absurdly cold here again all of a sudden, so I probably won't spend much time in the basement (the hand-sewing all happens upstairs these days) but next week I'll see about the Shield and this new as-yet-unnamed dragon.
Maybe I'll make an ice-themed one. 🥶
