This craft kit was developed from a large wall hanging I made for my son, after an afternoon dragon hunting (any excuse to get him out for a walk).
Whilst on our walk we came across clumps of bark lying at the base of a Scots pine tree. This bark is formed by layers of individual pieces of thin bark compressed together. It looked just like scales. This was a great start to our dragon hunt.
I could also mention we found giant dragon eggs (stones) dead animals that had been feasted on by the dragon (random dead rodent on the foot path) and a dragon catcher (staff shaped long stick) but that would make a short story long, so I wont.
Experimenting with these beautiful clumps of wood I discovered I could prise all the individual scales off, Leaving me with some beautiful wooden jigsaw like pieces. I ended up gathering all the clumps we had found and separating the pieces. I cut a large dragon from MDF and glued all the pieces to the dragon to make this Wall mounted dragon shield.
I enjoyed making this so much that I started making smaller pieces to sell. Unfortunately due to the time they took it made them quite expensive, and so determined was I to share this beautiful natural art I turned them in to craft kits.
These kits will be available from my website very soon.
Scots pine bark can only be collected when naturally shed, then dried before being carefully separated. No trees are harmed to make this product.
All wood comes from FSC approved sources. All packaging and left over Scots pine bark is 100% recyclable
