Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Do you like this months calender picture? A little Blossom Baby looking all adorable in the hedgerow. ❤️ We're putting the (slightly late) order for 2026 calenders in on Monday if anyone wants one. #dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #dragonart #needlefeltdrago #babydragon

Hello Dragonspotters ☺️ We found our first Fly Agaric of the season & a tiny Blossom Baby. Its very late in the year to find a baby this small. Mathilde intervened and brought her back to HQ. Poor little thing. #dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #dragonart #fibreart

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Just a quick post, Mathilde went foraging today and somehow managed to find pretty cake, funny little dragon 😄 We asked her if it was a cake tree, shrub or vine but she just rolled her eyes at us. 😆 #dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #dragons #needlefeltdragon

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️ Did we ever show you the needlefelt sculpture of the Long mountain Oak Dragon? We can't remember, so we thought we'd do so today. Isn't he a beauty?! 🥰 #dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #dragonart #dragons #needlefeltdragons #mightiemakers #talentbeyondchallenges

Whilst on a dragonspotting walk we met someone who insisted they'd just seen a dragon. We hotfooted to it But.. This is a Damselfly. 😂🤗 It does look kind of dragony though. 😁 Mathilde thinks is everso funny that we hurried to see an insect. #dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #damselflyphotography
