Fire-breathing dragon

Jan 1st, 2009 by J. O'Brien

I cut this dragon out of paper a couple of years ago to show my daughter how to use brads to make a little movable puppet. It’s been hanging out on my shelf since then and I decided to scan it and make an image out of it. This is an image for my Veer collection.

Above is the paper dragon cutout.

    This dragon is fantastic and even better because you made it for your daughter. Great use of mixed media…
