dragon head mount
August 15, 2024

remember wiggly lizard? yeah. keeping it for myself and making a new thing for cat friend. remaking a new skin of the same colors as the lizard.
now ive got a handful of good ridgid wire things that ive had sitting around for years and finally came up with an idea of how to employ at least ONE of them. as well as a dinky little wood board thing.

so a dragon head thats like mounted on the wall. aint too shabby for the first time doing something of this magnitude... yeah.

get the wood. get a craft felt sheet. needle and thread. cut the sheet and sew it into a. shape. then stuff it up.

w4. skin dry w5. skin wet

w6. neck stuff w7. head shape w8. stick stab

needed an S shape for the neck so added some wool to bulk it out. and then using what i can to make a big enough hole to put the wire through the neck it wouldve been a lot easier if i put the wire inside the body before i stitched it up and just built around said wire BUT ITS TOO LATE NOW so gotta plan in a different way! inhale.
