You might recognize these colors! If you guessed they were the leftovers from Esmerelda then you were right! Whenever I make a big dragon I always make progressively smaller dragons until I use up the yarn completely. I didn't have enough of the green for this one to have the same color scheme as her so I inverted it. I am really happy with it honestly. I like the tricolor effect. Usually when I make these I only use two colors. All the spikes and the wings end up being the same color but I really thought this came out cute.
I used the accent purple color to put little spots all over the main body to help tie it in too. I may or may not have run out of the lighter purple and thats why the legs are the accent color with paw pads in the main color. Shhhh. Sometimes we lose yarn chicken and sometimes we win. But the spots came out super subtle and I actually really like them. You can only notice them if you look closely so they feel like a little secret only for the observant. This is (currently as of the time of writing this, hopefully this will change by the time its published since I have a pretty big backlog of posts) the third of the ten sleeping dragons that I want to make for a potential Renn Faire booth.
What do you think of all the colors and details?
