Cotton Bags: Ice and fire, together, with glitter

I added a spot of glitter to the fire dragon, and here it is with its deadly rival, the ice dragon.

Cotton Bag: Black Spiral Dragon

More glitter! This started off as a gothic dragon - all black and purple and red - but then I added some yellow and orange in the background to enhance the contrast and I wasn't quite so sure about the description. "Black" will do.

Cotton Bag: Celtic Ice Dragon

If there's a fire dragon, it's perfectly reasonable to expect there to be an ice dragon.So here it is. I'm not sure that you can tell from the main photograph, but I added some glitter to enhance the icy effect - and because the glitter fabric paints I had ordered arrived in the post yesterday. It might be easier to see in this oblique close-up:

Cotton Bag: Celtic Fire Dragon

Everybody knows that dragons (sometimes) breathe fire. This one certainly does! I think it might be a bit annoyed that it's got its tail caught in the loop of the Celtic border, actually.

Cotton Bag: Blue Spiral Celtic Dragon

The second stage in the (r)evolution of the spiral dragon design. This fellow is largely done in ordinary wax crayons - apart from the paler green background, which is fabric wax crayon simply because I liked the colour better. I added a few loops to the border to make it more interesting.

Cottington's Poppies - SOLD

Well, the poppies don't belong to Cottington - not as far as I know, anyhow. But that is Cottington's Hill in the background (Mr. Cottington did build a big house up there, but the house is gone, now, and the most significant structure on that hill now is the TV and radio mast that can be seen on this previous painting). No, these are wayside poppies, growing on the field margin - in this case, a wheat field.
