Description (2009 Dec) This is my third plush dragon to date, my first sold one, the first one coloured and also the one I am most proud of so far. This was a commission for Methanoos/Lisen at DA/EW who gave it as a Christmaspresent to Shideh (also on DA). It is supposed to be her dragon character as seen here: [link]

Shideh is a small silver dragon with a glowing tail puff.

This took me about 20-30 hours over a few weeks to make. The hardest part was the tail which is different from my earlier dragons and much harder to make. I have added the hair strand by strand! It took forever and much cursing!

This is based on 's pattern. I have made some changes to the original pattern though. Mainly the wings, ears, back spikes and tail. I used silver cloth, glass eyes and silver glittering yarn for the tail. It's mostly hand sewn with a machine, but also by hand and needle.

If you like this dragon, take a look at my other ones too. Purple plushie and Midna.

Thank you! *lol* Actually I was a bit sad to give her away! Haha! I'd have liked to keep that one. I'm considering making another one for myself.

But of course I won't make it an exact copy because I don't wanna make Shideh unoriginal in any way!

But I have some silver cloth left and just maybe it'll be enough for another dragon... or a half one anyway. So I'm thinking, silver and white maybe.

I got it from Stephanie, I linked to her. You can ask her if you want it.
It's really tricky to sew it though, but it's worth it.

I left a comment on one of the dragons there, but I haven't heard back from her.

I see. Well, she usually says it's ok for me to send the pattern to people. I can ask her for you if you like? She's got some health problems that keeps her away from the computer much lately though.

Ok, I'll send it to you. Just give me your e-mail address. I think Stephanie would be happy if you gave credit to her and showed them to her if/when you sew one too.
