Description The long awaited Celtic Dragon. I sat down with a book of knots and invented it using the pictures in the book to show me the different ways the celtic creatures tie themselves in knots.

Its a bit hard to do as none of the celtic dragons in the books had wings and most of the knots involve 2 creatures tied together.

Also when done I decided it looked naked and needed scales.

Will be coloured. This was the 1st prize request for from my Halloween contest in 2008.

Yay! Glad you like it. I couldn't get any ivy leaves into it but the dragon worked for once.

Celtic knots always are, thats why it was so hard to do. Its not really very complicated compared to whats in the books but thats the most I could work into it.
