Loom-band Dragon
My first artistic endeavour in August had to be a loom-band creation. I have taken to the new craze like a hormonal woman to wine and chocolate. I particularly love the 3D creations and today I have made a bunny, two monkeys and a dragon.
Of course, for obvious reasons, the dragon is my favourite. I made it using this YouTube tutorial. I might have to figure out how to give it proper wings, and then I can do one in each set of colours for the cast of Dragon Wraiths.
This post is part of the Art in August challenge, as described on the Laptop on the Ironing Board blog.
P.S. There is a Giveaway going live on Goodreads this morning, to win a paperback copy of Class Act. If you haven’t read it (or you have but fancy a paperback version) do register your interest. Available in US, UK, Australia and Canada (but will ship to any country where it is available on Amazon!)
That’s dead cool. I can just about run to a knitted looking arm band…
Cheers

It’s definitely my favourite. Two weeks ago I couldn’t even make an arm band. The You Tube videos make it so easy to create these things. I envy the person who figured out how to make it in the first place.
I envy anyone who can think in knitting, full stop. 🙂
Funnily enough I’ve never liked knitting, I don’t have the patience. I like the loom bands because you get such instant results
We have a loom band craze around here too! Left a review for Class Act last week, I think. I hope it went through!
Was yours the ‘I didn’t want it to end’ review? If so, thank you! 🙂
Yep yep! You are most welcome! 🙂
That is an AMAZING creation. Is this only a British craze? I haven’t seen anything like this here in America yet and I WANT TO SEE IT. Maybe I’m just disconnected from pop culture? Don’t know, but I’m telling my kids about this. They will absolutely love this. Thank you!
Many of the YouTube videos are American – I think it came to us from you. I remember reading posts about how much mothers hated loom bands months ago… It’s a great thing for older kids who can be trusted not to leave the bands everywhere or around their fingers (I insist they use a pen or fork or loom) and for parents of course!
I can’t read ebooks (something about reading off a computer screen?), so off to enter in the competition. Love your creation, by the way!
Aw, it won’t let me register my Swedish address 😦
Sorry, I was in a rush when I loaded the giveaway so only selected the four main countries. Can you put in a UK or US address and I’ll post it to Sweden if you win?
Of course I can! I will put my parents’ address instead 🙂
Yay 🙂
