Soup Dragon

1960's Clangers TV Show Nostalgia

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/soup-dragon • Posted by Caz

I made this soup dragon for my mum as she used to love watching The Clangers TV Show as a child in the 60's/70's. My version is slightly darker than the original but she still has the same odd number of limbs (4 legs and 2 arms). She is made from felt. She is 8inch tall x 9inch long.
