Pendragon update!

[ldhenson]

You may remember these little plush fellows from me:





Well recently, one of the nice folks who purchased my pattern, Gill Neal, wrote to let me know that she and her daughter had made a blue dragon, and that her daughter had given it to Colin Morgan after seeing him in a play! And what's more, they have an assortment of other dragons already made or in progress, all color-coded to individual characters. I'm especially delighted by the notion of a black Uther dragon.

Now how cool is that?

Hello =]
Mum just forwarded me your email linking to this post, just thought I'd pop my head up and wave *waves*
I'm the daughter in question. I finally made one by myself a couple of weeks ago, have an accident on one of the feet, was pushing the needle through and it was so hard that the blunt end of the needle when into my finger XD need a thimble!
I bought some gold cord from a haberdashery the other day to affix to Morgana dragon (who is green). I'll try and dig up some photos though unfortunately people got in the way of my friend when I was giving it to Colin that she couldn't get a photo of him with the dragon and there were so many people there he was doing photos afterwards and we had a train to catch so couldn't wait...

EDIT: Colin's signing of Arthur!Dragon (http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m460/mydoctortennant/IMG00014-20110226-2132.jpg) | Arthur and Gwen Dragon (http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m460/mydoctortennant/IMG00020-20110305-2236.jpg)
I don't appear to have one of Merlin!Dragon without me or my friend tehre too *frown*

Hey there, thanks for the pics, that's awesome. I live on the wrong side of the pond to see any of the Merlin cast, so I quite like the idea of my dragon design making its way to them somehow :-) I didn't know he signed Arthur!Dragon, that's really cute.

As I said, I really like the colors that you picked for the rest of them. What will you do with the gold cord for Morgana? I'd love to see pics when you're done (if you don't mind sharing, that is).

Sewing can be a hazardous sport, can't tell you how many times I've stabbed myself :-P I've used thimbles, or even small pliers to push a needle through if there happens to be a tough spot of fabric glue in the way.

"I can't sign it properly... I'll just write 'Colin' and put a smiley face..." was his exact words XD It looks like he is one of 'Andy's Toys' from Toy Story the way it is written, but I want to get him 'graffitied' by all the cast if I can. My mission =]

I want to put the gold cord along the part of the wing with the wire through it, just to make her extra sparkly =]

I'll definitely supply you with some pictures once it's done (likely to be the end of next week when I'm done with my university work). I'll probably end up reenacting some scenes out because I'm a bit of a werido like that =D (I want to make Arthur!Dragon a sword...)

Haha, I couldn't figure out what the ink over to the right of his name was. That's adorable.

Ooh, I like the idea of putting the gold cord on her wings. I love seeing the cool variations that people come up with! I'm looking forward to the finished pics. And if reenacting scenes with little plush dragons makes you a weirdo, you're my kind of weirdo :-)

Hello again!
I went to Warwick Castle today and took my Merlin and Arthur dragons with me and took a couple of pictures... so I thought I'd share them XD

And here is my mini photoshoot with the other dragons I did a couple of weeks ago and forgot about!
All of them:

Pendragons:

BFFs forevers:

Hi, I'm glad you got to go!

I'd love to see your photos but they aren't showing up for me :-(

[mydoctortennant.livejournal.com]

Argh! Does this work?

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

These pictures are too adorable for words! I love them all lined up like that, each with his or her own attitude. The colors came out great, too. I'm really kind of taken with the black Uther dragon lording it over everyone.

And of course Merlin's little scarf :-)

So cool you (and Arthur and Merlin) got to visit the Castle. What was that like?

Do you mind if I link this from my Etsy? I think folks would love to see more examples of finished dragons, much like I did with my other plush dragon (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/259846.html) design. Or even if you'd prefer to just link the pics without all the discussion we could do that too.

Mum positioned Uther's legs differently so he was able to be all kingly <3

Castle was absolutely awesome. Dragon tower was pretty small but v.amusing!

Go for it, do whatever, I mind not =]
More love for your designs the better!

That's genius :-)

Great! I've linked to this post from my listing at Etsy for this pattern (http://www.etsy.com/listing/63045893/camelot-dragon-plush-pattern-pdf) as well as including the link when I send people their patterns.
