After my Supernatural one, I thought: Oh well, what the heck.

And here's the bigger, truer-to-life size, assuming you're viewing this in a standard sized ~~magic viewing pool~~ screen:

The flake measures 8.5" wide. Each dragon is less than 1.5" wide.

To my amazement this one actually worked as a folded scissors cut through nearly the whole thing. I figured I would definitely have to "cheat" for this one--that is, unfold it to cut the trickier bits, like the wings and tail. As it turned out, the only cuts I was obliged to unfold before making were the second cuts of both slices behind the neck and between the horns. I might have been able to pull off both cuts behind the neck without unfolding, but I made the mistake of unfolding to check first, and it's almost impossible to re-fold it accurately enough to cut.

I don't think I'll be trying anything this intricate again soon. I sort of wanted to prove to myself I could do it, but that's all. My nerves won't thank me!

Extreme closeup of the dragons:

You can see how the scissors have kind of chewed up the paper in the tight curvy bits.

I'd sort of like to do one of both guys, but I can't find a good shot of them together that isn't zoomed in too close or has one of them standing way in back or something. Can anyone point me towards a good sharp pic in which they're both facing the camera?

And now I'm off to bed, provided the drunken neighbors down the hall cease their whooping and hollering.

Happy Camelot Holidays everyone!
