Birth of a Boro Dragon

fionaess · February 12, 2011, 03:21:24 PM

Firstly I need to thank my Dragon Midwife - Emma

For holding my hand throughout the entire process and inspiring me by telling me that I could do it.
On FH we rarely show our mistakes or how we achieve things, we just show the final product, but here, baring my all, is my very limited boro progress. I'm not doing this to crow, that really isn't my style. All I want to do is, hopefully, inspire other newbie boro'ers...... (and maybe crow just a little)

These are my first ever 4 boro dragons...
The first three were made on Thursday and the final one was made this morning..
OK then, here goes....

My first ever - This one I call my Stevie Wonder Dragephant - note the dark glasses !

My second ever Dragephant.. beautiful spectacles and very strange snout

My 3rd a bit more like a dragon - however I chose a horrid bubbly boro colour and boiled it !

My 4th Dragon - made this morning - which actually looks like a dragon - but maybe I'm biased

Oh wow.......

They are utterly beautiful... I adore the fourth one!

Will you be selling any?? I would love to buy one from you.

Thats very sweet of you Fruddy, but mine aren't ready to sell yet - got to do a lot more work on them.. however my 'midwife' makes the most beautifully perfect dragons....

Oooooooh

I bet they were huge fun to make!

Bet they were terrifying

fionaess · February 12, 2011, 03:59:55 PM

They were terrifying Tan, especially when they kept dropping off the punty and having to make them even... if you look at the first three you will note the very wonky eyes.. Quadimodo of the dragophant world... and the ears/wings look like elephants, not to mention the trunks!

Now I have the urge to make a mahooosive one - not a little ladylike one

But it's certainly more fun than making beads

There is something very addictive about that terror

Congratulations, quite an achievement. They look pretty dragon-like to me.

They're fabulous, Fiona - I own one of Emma's dragons, and I love it!!!

Fantastic!!!!

Fi, you should see my first attempts!!

Many of them are on the windowsill outside, to remind me. (and also to see what boro does at -18

)

They are looking pretty good! I love Stevie Wonder Dragephant probably best. I know the 4th is technically better but Stevie has dat attitood.

I quite like being a dragon midwife

You are an excellent Dragon Midwife Emma
