The dragon is 180 cm tall and the hight of the middle head is 162 cm. He has castors under it so it can be moved easily. Castors are attached to wooden tiles in it’s feet.
I decided to make one big thing, because I wanted to learn papier mache technique. I tested different papers, colours, lacquers and work techniques on dragon. The middle head has a moving mouth. The dragon is not ready yet. I haven’t decided, what kind of wings he must have and how to paint the eyes to make them look real. As the dragon is big it has to be cute not to frighten children.

What a clever idea. This is fun. You like working in big style don't you? Perhaps you could give the details of the size in the description. It is very good to have someone from Estonia. Do you know others who do papier mâché?

I really like the dragon. It has a solid base and lots of movement, not static. Great!
