Burnin’ and lurkin’. That’s what I do.
Just posting up one thing I’ve been obsessed with lately. DRAGONS!
I’ll be back to post up more this weekend. Hope all is well with you and yours.

My husband just got a new phone and took a pic last night of the moon between some tree branches. It looked very much like a dragon!

yea, if you don’t wanna revel all the secrets tell us how you did the mechanism to have the wings flap (its off camera, a motor?)
are you controlling it, I see a flash of a hand in the video.

Just gravity and physics. My hand just pulled down on the body… the way the strings are attached and the pieces are balanced are what allow for the flappin’. It’s not new at all, nothing I came up with. After much searching, I finally found a youtube vid that helped me tremendously on getting the balance mechanics…
Please hold…
found it…

Love seeing it in motion! I’ll bet a pterodactyl would work great for this as well—you should do one!

Not a new design here… but a new version, as in copper spray paint for the dragon, black spray paint for the base, and fancier chains. The chains are holding up the dragon, but they are not glued or welded… it’s a “tensegrity”* art piece. (*Rabbithole warning!)
Other tensegrity pieces are on the agenda… (along with hundreds of other projects)
