Shiny Things Gallery | Dragons | Plush | Kuro
Having just emerged from his egg days ago, Kuro is looking for a warm spot to curl up in, the safety provided by a dedicated guardian, and maybe some sweets if they happen to be laying around. You couldn't deny him sweets, could you?
I had this gorgeous scrap of the most beautiful deep, dark crimson silk velvet, and naturally my first thought is "dragon wings". I don't know, I can't help it. Kuro is fully poseable, though his wire skeleton is comprised of thinner wire. This allows for slightly easier movement than the larger crocheted dragons, but he's a touch more delicate. (Well of course he is--he's just a baby!) Even so, he's got a great range of motion.
His belly and the bottoms of his feet are all sparkly too, thanks to fabric paint medium and iridescent pigment; so it's not going to rub off. He's also got a few beaded accents along his back, tail, ears and toes. The gemstone beads used for his eyes seem to be jasper, but don't quote me on that one.
("Kuro" is "black" in Japanese, by the way.)
