What happens when S1 of Merlin ends and we have to wait ages for S2?

This.

Yeah, yeah, everyone talks about the big slash dragon under the castle, but the dragon I really like is the one on Camelot's shield.

I've decided his name is Cuddles.

Uther will not be pleased.

Tough luck, Uther.

Cuddles only has the two hind limbs, so technically he's a wyvern not a dragon, but all the knights laughed at "Arthur Penwyvern."

His tongue is a four-strand braid of thread. (Yeah, that was a good idea.) Depending on his mood, it can either mean he's thirsty, saying "bleah," blowing a raspberry at you, or he wants a bite of your curry. And you'd better give it to him, too, because he can fry you like a Hot Pocket.

His eyes are a fetching copper color. They glitter, but you can't see that through the camera.

Like my other dragons, Cuddles' wings, tail and neck are wired. Unlike them, he isn't really poseable. His wiring is only for support.

Also unlike my other dragons, his wings aren't quite anatomically plausible. But hey, I makes 'em like I sees 'em.

(Ignore the loose white thread on the table. I had a spool sitting nearby.)

"I vigilantly stand guard over Camelot from any and all--hey, is that curry I smell?"

omigosh, AMAZING!

Now I feel inspired, I totally want to knit (or possibly crochet) some merlin and arthur plush dolls now. Merlin crafting can totally be a thing! haha.

That would be an awesome Christmas gift for a friend of mine. She'd adore it and set it up with her collection of "Lion King" Nalas.

Oh he's brilliant! I'm currently trying to resist the lure of making 'softies' and if I did give in one of the things I wanted to make was a plushie pendragon. Though it wouldn't be anywhere near as awesome as Cuddles

Cuddles is a most gorgeous and cuddleworthy dragon. I might even be tempted to make a curry to lure him into my abode. ;D

He is probably lisping a bit, if one follows Anne McCaffrey's remarks. He's so cute, Arthur and Merlin would fight over who can take him to bed.

Beautiful shaping and detail! I hate sewing so I will just ogle. I am crocheting a dragon right now though....

Wow, that's incredible! How long did it take you? It looks really neat and well-done.

all the knights laughed at "Arthur Penwyvern."

That is REALLY gorgeous. I've never been able to make any plushie that is THAT elegant. Do you use wire to give the wings shape?
