Welcome to the new home of The Fireside Dragon

Welcome to the new home of The Fireside Dragon, here we are, Nimlet the Dragon and I, at the start of a new journey. The old site disappears shortly and this has given rise to a clear out, a change in feel and a slight change in direction.

The current social media challenge that has attracted my attention is #badapples12days with some wonderful words to illustrate. The first one was icicle, which I missed, followed by candlestick, turtle dove, angel and fairy lights. I really enjoyed illustrating angel and finding out my own idea of an angel and how it turned out when I put pencil to paper. These challenges give me a chance to play and experiment, with a specific focus and reason for doing so. Today’s challenge is ‘Christmas Carol’ - should I put up an image of one of my designs for this year’s Christmas cards or should I start a new image? Find out on Instagram.

Farewell for the moment from our new home, hope you find your way back here soon.

Rachael and Nimlet
