I don't have a shop. I've only ever once sold something I'd made, and that was for someone I worked with, so the transaction was face-to-face. I'm not sure if I'd ever open an online shop for something like this, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

Thank you! This means a lot coming from you. I had always put off making a dragon because I didn't think I could plan out all of the curves or get the face or feet right, and you showed me that determination and a strong wire are really all you need.

I'm making more! I even want to start work on my own Haku (I've been saving up some sparkly white yarn just for him).

You are very welcome! Did you work the curves into the pattern then? They look great! I like his face its like he is a puppy dragon, something cute that would give you the pouty face and make you take him for a walk. :3 Wire makes them so versatile. What type of yarn did you use? I noticed you said he was about a foot long. I love that color.

I'd love to see your version of Haku!

Actually, his body is one piece, mostly a straight tube. Which takes a lot of stress off of me, because the wire can just pose him any way that I want instead of being stuck with only one pose (or realizing later that the curves didn't line up with the straight sections and looping all over the place).

I used acrylic yarn for him. For the main body, I used a yarn I had in my stash that I hadn't used before now (I *think* Bernat satin), and for the legs I used Vanna's Choice, but had to split the yarn because it was too thick. Tedious but worth it, because I love those warm browns. I have no idea what I used for the mane (except that I'm running out!).

Started Haku last night, might be able to finish him in a few day, if all goes well.

Thank you, I was really trying to give him a cute face, but the wool wasn't cooperating and I had to fight with it a bit. I used a ball of yarn I just had lying around, but is kind of shiny, I thought it would be a good choice for an asian watery dragon.

You are very welcome. I wouldn't have ever guessed it caused you trouble, it looks like you just stabbed some wool then voilà! It was a great used of stray yarn And I think shiny works very well for a dragon since they usually are said to have scales. ^w^

The texture given by him being crocheted gives him a nice scaly look, too. Perhaps I will have to find more shiny/satin yarn for these in the future.

He's about a foot long, 1 1/2 inches wide. His head is maybe 5-6 inches off the ground in his current pose.
All of my friends that I've shown him to want one also (he's just that cute ^-^)
