It's Christmas Eve and I'm working on my beady dragon design, picking up where I left off about a year ago. I'm half way through making the fifth torso. I don't get as far as making the legs, because I keep wanting to start again and refine the body shape. My daughter is pretty frustrated with me - she wants me to finish at least one dragon. She doesn't mind the imperfections and the diversity - each new addition to the menagerie is lovingly accepted by the kids.  I'll put some pics up soon to show my dragon's evolution. I think I'm going to end up with a curly whirly Chinese dragon and a more traditional winged beast with a long curved neck.
