Dragon --free form crochet--

So a few weeks back my nephew asked my mom to call me and ask me if I could make him a dragon.
I said sure, I dont have a pattern I am working from I am just free form crocheting.

I used Cat safety eyes, and am stuffing as I go because I am working this dragon head, neck, body, tail in one piece.

I still need to work up 4 legs, 2 wings, then add all the small details.

I am still debating on if it should have spikes on the spine or if that would make it look to much like a dinosaur.  Right now my husband says it looks like a Long neck dinosaur so I want to make sure when my Nephew gets it it roars dragon and not dino.

It was requested to be wire free as its going to a kid who will probably be throwing it at people, so I am still trying to figure out a way to make the wings and have them not look floppy, with out having something hard inside them.

I am thinking of finding some flexible boning but not sure how I would be able to work it into the wing in a way anyone would not be able to pull it out or have it fall out.

Truthfully I am thinking so much on this that it seems like I am procrastinating.  I find that I have lost the spark that was inspiring me for this peice, and I have crocheters block.

I know what I need to make, I just cant wrap my brain around making them in the way I invision them in my noggin.

Sneak Peak

Here is what I am working on right now.  I am using my dark purple mohair, and making up the pattern as I go.

 At the moment I had to frog a good  5 ft of yarn because the free form work I was doing just wasn't working.

I am hoping I can make 'wings' or cresent shaped parts to add onto the base to make this a wrap that folds over you in front sort of like a hug from an angel.

Currently its about 15 inchs (40cm) wide I think I plan on taking the base circle motif and making it 18in wide then trying to tackle how to make and attach the wrap around parts.

We will see where it goes and I will try my best to keep my notes so I can type them all out later if anyone wants the pattern to make one for themselfs or a friend.
