Completed February 11, 2025 and much-traveled in the month before posting here, this true dragon drew his inspiration from one skein of blended wool and shimmering silk, which provides all the color except for the red eyes and black wings.

Those wings are heavier than usual, being built on heavy-duty coated copper spaghetti wire rather than the usual steel, so besides being built on a thick gold-tone necklace, he has an internal magnet to let him pose off to one side or the other rather than swinging to the lowest point.

Now he’s ready to head out into the world, and he could be yours right away... if you can pry him from the Salamander’s claws. Write to the Salamander to discuss details of the adoption.
