Dragon Collectibles

WHAT !!  Make my own dragon collectables.  I can’t make my own dragon figure, I don’t know how to pour molten pewter or cast plaster.  I can’t make my own dragon glass, I have no idea how to slag or pull molten glass.  I can’t make a dragon sculpture, (this would safer than working with molten materials) I don’t know how to carve to stone.  With the right skills and costly equipment, you can.

I found a great way you can make your own dragon figure to add to your collection.  And the best thing, you won’t burn your house down doing it.  Or have to vacuum those nasty rock chips out of your carpet. I was web surfing the other day, looking for more dragon collectibles.  And I came across another fascinating piece of dragon figure history.  I found some Origami dragons.  That got me thinking about dragons and history.

The art of origami has been around for hundreds of years.  I suspect it started, as most things did in ancient times, out of a need by the lower class for a representation of a dragon figure to pay respect to the deity.  Or it could have started by a peddler to be sold at festivals.  No matter who or why origami got started, it is a relaxing hobby many people do today. The photos on this page show some great dragon figure origami. As I said, “Make your own Dragon Collectibles“  no fire, glass, pewter, dusty plaster or huge stones required.  Just paper, check this out! Not Origami, but a pretty cool hand made Dragon
