From old to new - Dragon and Dinosaur


Nov. 2017

Time to make: 2 hours

Original design: Bill Macfarlane












 So back when I was making the Hound Dog slide, I had a few turkey neck bones left that I hung on to for future slides. What struck me is how much one looked like a dinosaur and the other like a dragon. So I went with it!

The dragon is painted with a dark green and has a black wash to bring our the contours of the bone. The eyes are yellow seed beads glued in place with crazy glue. The flames are a red feather I applied glue to and split  the vanes to form the flames. I also added a bit of the black wash to the feather in places. the feather was super glued to the mouth.

The dinosaur was easier still! I super glued a couple of air-soft bbs for the eyes and painted it white with craft paint. This time a gray wash was applied to bring out the contours.

 A couple of coats of Poly to seal them and a leather loop attached to the back to finish the slides off.
