These are tiny, needle-felted dragons. They can be used as toys or as decoration. I felt them by hand using all natural materials: cotton pipe cleaners and wool roving. The cost is $16+shipping. If you order extra creations, I will refund any excess shipping costs.



You can either order this little red and black fellow, or you can custom order a dragon. It'll take 1-2 weeks to make a custom dragon, and you can pick the color(s), tail type, horn type, theme, spikes, etc. If you need them ASAP, moosage me and I might be able to "rush order" them.

Here's a list of all the colors I currently have in stock!

Here's some other tiny dragons I have made. Sometimes they end up with larger wings or longer tails. If you want a really tiny dragon like the red one, just tell me :D



While not as big as the large dragons, they can still be ridden by a fairy.

I will moosage you pictures of the dragon in process and before mailing, to ensure you are pleased with your new little dragon!

It will take approximately 1 week for me to custom-make a tiny dragon. If you need it ASAP, moosage me, and I might be able to make it quicker.

    I made this little guy today. I really enjoy making these little fellows because I can often (if the kids are playing nicely, LOL!) get a dragon done in a day. It's also really fun to play with color combinations!

    This dragon was fun, because I got to expirment with blending colors of roving together. I mixed a light blue and light purple together, as well as a dark blue and dark purple, to get a more of blue-violet color.

    I wish I had steadier hands, or a camera I could stick on my face, because I always end up with blurry pictures with a cellphone!

    I am! I love making custom orders with whatever colors and designs people ask for! Below are two little dragons I made in the last few months. I was asked to make a "starry night" dragon, and it was so much fun! The other dragon was a lot of fun to make multiple shades of purple and green and blue.

    Starry night dragon--my photography isn't the best, sorry!

    One of my daughter's friends loves Tsunami from the Wings of Fire series. As a birthday present, I made a tiny, Tsunami-inspired dragon for her. Tsunami usually is depicted with white spots all along her body, but I'm kind of scared to try that and make the tiny dragon look way too busy.

    What do you think, should I add white spots, or keep it simple?

    How tiny is tiny? Tiny spots would be cute, I think. I'm not familiar with the character or story, but a few, too keep it closer to the story might make a big difference, for the kids, even if it seems too busy, for adult sensibilities.

    This little dragon is about 6 inches long and 5 inches from feet to wingtip (if the wings are up).

    Here's the cover art that features Tsunami:

    Here's some more pictures from the graphic novel:



    Maybe I should ask my kids if I should add more to the dragon? Both of them have read (and love) the Wings of Fire books. So they might be a good indicator.

    My daughter ( 8 ) says that the dragon looks great as it is. My son (11), says that I should add spirals to the wings, and don't need to worry about the spots. Since Tsunami is of the royal dragon family, she had spirals on her wings. The problem is, I can't find good pictures of those spirals!

    I'm thinking I might leave it as it is, and then offer to add dots/spirals if she wants more details....
