The dragon is now firmly attached to the celing with three strands of fishing line. Once the wings are completed they will be attached using ladders, and the dragon will be complete! I’m already planning the next dragon I make. I’m thinking to base it off this:
We moved the dragon into Daniel’s room. I had to carry it up a ladder into his second floor balcony. It was too long to snake in through the hall door. Luckily it is impressively light; probably about 40 lbs. Now we just have to figure out how to hang it from the ceiling! Not an easy task as the bedroom has a very high ceiling (this picture is taken from the loft).
We brought the dragon outside to finish painting it. We went through all of our paint, so Mom had to get more blue. After painting it, we used a ladder to hoist it up onto the balcony.
At long last, the skin of the dragon has been completly placed, with the finishing of the neck. Tomorrow morning, we will take the dragon out to the driveway, and start spray-painting it blue. After it is done being painted on each side, I believe we will apply a coat of gloss to make it shiny before using a pulley to lift it into it’s new home. Once it is in there, the wings and other finishing touches like the tongue and ears will be created and applied.
