Description
I made this cute little dragon from some awesome sparkly scaly fleece that my mom bought me -- perfect for making dragons!She has a wire armature so that she can be posed -- she can stand up, hang from trees, and even hitch a piggyback ride! (I'll be posting more pics of her posed soon)
She's about 3 feet long with a 4-ish foot wingspan.
Made out of an original pattern -- I hate wiring wings.
Patterns for wyvern dragons of this style can now be found on my etsy! [link]

The best material is always hidden in some place like that

I will go to the bank tomorrow, and put some $ in my account. That way, when i pay w/Paypal, it will take the paymenet from my bank account.

cool, and I will get the pattern up soon!

I think paying w/Paypal, through Etsy would be great. That's how I pay for things I buy on Etsy. I'm the kind of person who either: A. Pays online w/Paypal, or B. Draws out cash, and pays w/cash at garage sales and stores.

awesome! I just finished the instructions, and I'll get a copy of the pattern done soon.

I'm in no hurry, so, take your time. I don't have a credit card in my own name. It has both my husband's name and my name on it, and I'm only allowed to use it for emergencies. And, I don't think I ever activated my new debit card. Would you take a money order?

I think I may have my etsy account set up to accept payments via paypal now, we'll probably have to test it out to make sure. but I think you'll be able to buy the pattern through my etsy with your paypal account.

What do you want to charge for it? And, I would like the pattern to be unaltered/as it is. I'm good w/the size of the Wyvern. I LIKE BIG!!!! The BIGGER the BETTER I always say!

Awesome, mailing the original design would actually be a lot simpler, I'd just need to trace the pieces of the original pattern. I'd probably use the paper which I usually use for patterns which is butcher paper (you can iron the waxy side onto the back side of your fabric and it will stick to the fabric while you cut out the pieces, then pull it off with no harm to the fabric -- much easier than pinning or tracing the pieces on)
would $15-20 work for you, possibly plus shipping cost?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
$15-$20 plus shipping would work for me. Do you have Paypal? I do, and would like to pay that way. I would have to put some $ in my account. I haven't used it in forever!

I don't think I have a functioning paypal account right now, but I think what I'll do is put it up on my etsy account and you can buy one from there using a credit/debit card, I might end up selling a couple patterns that way.
Right now I'm working on writing up directions for sewing up the pattern, I'll trace a new copy when I get home. It might take a few days for me to get it ready to put up.

She is fantastic! Would you consider selling a copy of the pattern? I LOVE making dragons, and always have a hard time finding cool, not extremely difficult to make patterns. And, you hardly ever, if ever, find Wyvern patterns.

I might, or maybe a variation of it -- how much would you be willing to pay for one? And would you like it sent as a computer file or mailed?
This one is quite big, so if you'd want it e-mailed or something it'd either be shrinked or some pieces would have to be split into parts and taped together after being printed out.

I think I saw you wearing this. It's cute and cuddly and awesome. I think people would buy these.

at the deviantmeet? yeah
Thank you!!
I might eventually make some from this pattern to sell, right now I have some other plushes in my etsy shop -- which aren't as big or complicated
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, exactly. Right on. Could you post a link to your etsy shop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, definitely, here it is:

Tell me if your interested in something in a particular color -- especially with the beaded things. There's a few things that I just haven't gotten up yet.

Wow, you did an amazing job on her
As for the name, I don't know if you came up with one or not, but I'll say that "Opal" fits her

Thank you!
Sorry I can't help you with where to buy it, I found this at a thrift store.
Thanks for the name too! I might have one for her, but I'm not sure yet

She's adorable~ I love that fabric and her sweet face. Nice work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
I measured her before but I forget the exact measurements, something like 2 feet long with a 3-3 1/2 foot wingspan. So she's pretty big

Very nice dragon and exceptional crafting! The design is fun and I really like those "whiskers" - not easy to do!
Where where wheeeere did your mom get that scaly fleece? That's definitely something I could use! Did she get it on the internet or perhaps through a store? Please ask her for me, if you would!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!!
She actually bought it at a local thrift store so I really have no idea where it was originally bought from -- maybe search the internet and see if any sites have something like it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nooo, the untraceable thrift store find! Well, I'll search online and see if I can find it. It IS fleece, right? Not a stretchy lycra fabric printed with scales? I've seen that before. I recognize the tie-dye style purple you used for the underside of the dragon, though!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, I know! I hope you can find it; I might search too and see if I can find somewhere that sells it because it is just amazing! It's definitely fleece, but with scales on it -- I'd never seen anything like it before my mom found this stuff. lol, yeah I got the purple at Joann's

ooh Periwinkles a good one! Thank you!

OMG I LOVE her!
why have I not seen your work before - insta fave!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, this is amazing. The fabric you used, worked out perfectly for this! Great work on the details as well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! I really love this fabric and can't wait to design some more dragons and such to make with it, right now I'm working on a small skinnier wyvern-type dragon using the same blue, and probably either mottled blue fleece or white for the accents.
I also want to get some more pics up of this wyvern being posed, but my computer's being stupid about letting me submit deviations

That sounds cool

omg...D8 I want her so bad. I'd hug her always @_@ This just came out so awesome! You did such an excellent job on her details.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!!!
I'd be interested in making you one if your interested, it'd let me get some kinks worked out of the design too

I am so broke right now. I'm saving up whatever I can to use for making change at a craft show on march 2nd. I missed some work this month after I fell down the stairs and it set me back so badly on my bills and college debt. ;-;
But my god maybe for my birthday in December or as a gift to myself when I have some extra money or something...I would so have that thing riding my back around the house all day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aw, too bad. I can't wait to hear back from you if you eventually decide to get one though!

I am a plushie hoarder. I can't ever have enough. Of course as I get older my taste in plushies and such things has geared toward more expensive pieces. How much would something like this one cost? Just so I know for the future.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, I've always collected plushies too -- and now I make them
I think one would probably be around $60-70 since she's a pretty big plush and she has the wire armature too, which takes more work and material.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's reasonable for something that big, and I figured it wouldn't be cheap. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, I'd be happy to make you one! In the meanwhile spread the word around, the more practice I get the better I can make your custom one when you order it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Even if mine came out looking like the derpiest thing ever I'd covet it like it were a solid gold brick. XD I love derpy things. Because no one wants the messed up stuffies. But I do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, that makes me want to go and make a derpy dragon
but I have a midterm to finish, stupid american lit midterm
