Chinese Dragon Giveaway Winner

Here! Also I Topastro and we are ready to leave for this fantastic journey organized by Mammagiramondo. We printed the passport but we still have to paste the stamp of China .

I think China is especially dragons. It brings to mind the images of many people who parade, rejoicing, carrying a long fabric or papier-mache dragon filled with colorful details.

From Wikipedia :

"is depicted as a large animal from the body of a snake, four-legged chicken, a crocodile head, whiskers, manes and deer antlers, as is' set of all animals. It's long been a symbol of good luck in Chinese folklore. The Eastern Dragon is the embodiment of the concept of yang (that good) associated with water, and then carries rain and water in general . I prayed to the Chinese dragon in times of drought and considered him their father and when the emperor died, it was believed that his spirit be turned into a long dragon. "

Initially I had planned on doing a dragon with rolls of colored cardboard with tempera. and I Topastro we set to work but once colored rolls ... I'm inspired

I decided it was better that the dragon made of fabric and I chose to set Topastro the image of a Chinese dragon from web. The dragon that we have chosen is red, and then we recovered from our tissue box cover of a piece of red cells Ikea.

I cut a long strip of fabric double and I sewed along the edge to create a long tube. A closed end and an open one. I created two into the open pockets that have become the dragon's mouth. With piles of green I had horns, a strip on the back and front legs. With an orange stripe on his belly, eyes and palms of the "hands". With white teeth. Currently only the dragon's teeth at the top of his big mouth, maybe even add them below :-)

Topastro has had a great time to "feed" the dragon to fill it padding. We used the upholstery of an old pillow, after completing the remaining part of Halloween pumpkins and balls for socks-the Christmas tree. Topastro immediately fell in love with the dragon and began playing with it just took shape. I have served more than a week to finish it because we played Topastro the dragon spitting fire and come running to the fire trucks to extinguish the fire. The dragon, even without legs and stripes on its back and belly is coming with us to make expenditures, the pediatrician ....

Topastro Every time I posed for him to play with something else I'll add one thing: the legs, (in which there are plastic straws, those found in bottles with liquid soap dispenser), the wispy blue (taken from a glove to remove dust from furniture), the horns ....
Topastro brought the dragon to school, that day was a bright sun that came through the window and we projected the shadow of the mouth of the dragon on the wall. A few nights ago, the dragon also came to stay with us.
We are completely ready ourselves to celebrate our trip to China with the dragon!
