I like him, he's cute, I have just tatted the sea horse with wings, and he looks like he has the same wings.
ReplyDeleteMargaret
Some similarities, but not completely the same once you look closely.
DeleteFantastic dragon!!!! A lot of work went in between the final version and the first one.
ReplyDeleteWow Martha! That is one cool dragon!!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHe looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the dragon and the colors.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
This is a lovely piece of tatting, and a great pattern!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! He is glorious! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome dragon! I hope you'll be making the pattern available. It's certainly one I would purchase. Our school mascot is the dragon, and I would love to tat one for each of our administrators.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the dragon!
ReplyDeleteAnd Martha - get some sleep. Don't be posting in the middle of the night!
I cannot tell you how excited I am for your new book. All of the mythological designs I've seen so far are just what I want for decorations for a kid's room!
ReplyDeleteBravo, Martha!
ReplyDeleteHey - what are you doing up at 2:50 a.m.? ;-)
I get home from work around 0200 (except when I stay and work an extra half shift in a neighboring department). This is entirely normal.
DeleteGreat looking dragon!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! i dont know what i was expecting your dragon to look like, but he is beyond all imagining...great job!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is so gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteMust tell y'all. I've just had the pleasure of test tatting this dragon and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The pattern is easy to follow and the results are AMAZING. I'll blog mine tomorrow or Saturday. I personally can't WAIT for this book to come out with that and the rest of the fantasy patterns too. Martha, you ROCK. I'm in awe of your work yet again.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Martha! I can't wait for the book to be available. I've been wanting to tat a large dragon to frame for a while.
ReplyDeleteI have no difficulty believing this EXCELLENT dragon evolved from those bits, because you have the amazing talent to design wonderful things! This will become another classic!
ReplyDeleteBut I AM shocked to learn that you work such strange hours!
Wow -- that is one fierce firebreather! I am in awe of your design talent more than ever before (and I was HUGELY in awe before this, so that is saying something) and CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on a copy of the upcoming book!
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, are they "trainable?" Sapling will want to know...
Nice! very nice
ReplyDeleteI have book mark your page so I can find out when the book will be available. I love it!! Best European woodland dragon I've seen.

ReplyDeleteI am blown away! That handsome beastie has Personality Plus!
ReplyDeleteFox : ))
OMG! I LOVE this dragon.. and the baby one too! New book.. when? where? WANT!!!
ReplyDeleteYour dragon is totally amazing!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome dragons!!!! I hope the book is out in time for Christmas tatting. I have several dragon lovers in the family.
ReplyDeleteUh, I did not hear of a new book 'til now but I definitely NEED to have it - I love dragons and all fantasy!
ReplyDeleteThat dragon is AMAZING!!!
can't add much to previous comments, but it's AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteWhat book will this be in? I would like to get this pattern.
ReplyDeleteIs there a pattern for sale? I'd LOVE to have it. Been attempting this pattern for weeks just from the pics & have been a miserable failure!
ReplyDeleteThis will part of a book of fantasy theme patterns. I think it will be ready for sale in September.
DeleteOh my Gosh....I am so ready for this new book. I love this dragon. Wow!! Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to see a unicorn pattern in the book ;) I've collected anything unicorns ever since I was a kid.
ReplyDeletehow do I get this pattern? is it for sale or free?
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks,
T :)
It is in the "Flights of Fantasy" book. Look for the "Books for Sale" link at the top of the page.
ReplyDeleteI would love to needle some of these. Where may I get patterns?
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is in my book, "Flights of Fantasy." You can buy it directly from me on my Books for Sale page (see link at top) or from Handy Hands or Tatting Corner or other tatting shops.
