Oh wow! My green plush dragon was picked as a Featured Project over at Craftster!

I figured I had pretty much, I don't know, used up my FP karma in a sense when my plush kipper got picked back in November. So I'm doubly surprised and pleased to get a second one so soon.

Some people were asking about getting a pattern for him but the mods edited my reply because of the site rules against even any hint of selling (and I wasn't meaning to, but I can see how it came out that way). While I understand and have no protest against the edit, it also makes it look like I've ignored people's requests :-P So I'll have to go back and post something about it, as soon as I can figure out some wording that fits in the rules.

ETA: It's also almost exactly a year after his predecessor, the blue dragon, was posted to Craftster last December as my first project. So it's a lovely way to cap off the first year.

ETA 2: My dragon pattern is now up on Etsy!

Hmmmm. Maybe tell people to contact you for details?

Er, and congratulations! He is so cool and that's really awesome!

That's what my original reply said. I may have muddied the waters by mentioning my commissions as well, but I only said that because I've had people who preferred getting a finished item to a pattern, and I didn't want people to think they were stuck with only one choice. I'll have to check with the mods to make sure.

ETA: Thank you! It was my first and still one of my very favorite designs.

Can you edit the body of the post for clarity? Good luck!

He's really cool. And adorable!

What IS your policy on patterns?

Yeah, I'll either edit or add a new post. Although on second glance, the mods did leave in my other sentence stating that I was going to try to draw up a pattern for it. So in the meantime that's probably enough of an indication that people can PM me if they want more info.

What IS your policy on patterns?

I try to draw one up if enough people want it. My Top Gear cushion (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/178197.html) pattern I shared for free. I have patterns for the dragons and my Metallicar (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/170784.html) in the works, and because those are more complex, those patterns would be for sale. Also because they're complex, I have to make sure they really do work before I give them out, which is why it's taking me so long because I have to re-test them. Some of my stuffies/cushions were largely improvised as I went along and even though I've had some pattern requests for those, I didn't keep close enough track during the original construction to be able to replicate them.

I thought of you when I was watching LOTR the other night, and they got to the scene at Minas Morgul. Have you ever tried to make one of the fell beasts that the Nazgul ride?

It's on my Want To Make list! Such elegant creatures. I even bought the felt for it months ago, but talked myself out of doing it, thinking it was too complex and I had other projects I wanted to do. [livejournal.com profile] tainry was also recently nudging me to give it a shot...so maybe...

::eyes fabric stash:: Hmmm...well, I'm in the middle of a commission, but maybe after. I'm kind of tempted. I was go8ing to take a break from sewing, to give my arm a rest, but I also need to research the Beasts, and that's not sewing...

Hi! I got here from craftster, I'm Kirrashi over there. Perhaps you could pm people who said that they were interested in buying the pattern? Again, awesome dragon. =)

Thanks, glad you like him!

I think that's what I'll do, PM everyone when I get a little closer to finishing the pattern. I've got the instructions written up, I just need to scan/draw the pieces.

Your dragons!!

I'd LOVE to have a copy of the pattern for either of your dragons if you make one available!! Will you contact those who have posted that they want a pattern, or make it available through this site, or what?

I do hope you offer a pattern. He is wonderful!! And we love dragons here.
