My Welsh mother in law heard me talking on the phone to a customer about a dragon they wanted.
She thought I was talking about her! Hmmmm  :)

Glass Welsh dragon for St David’s Day (1st March)



St David’s Day is getting closer, so here is a red glass dragon climbing up a wall. The yellow tips are glass coated with 22 carrat gold.

Usually the Red Welsh dragon has an arrow head on the tail, but I thought I would give this one a flourish. For those who don't know The Red Dragon (Y Ddraig Goch) is a symbol of the Welsh Nation and appears on the Welsh flag.

The glass Red Dragon (Y Ddraig Goch) of St David’s Day



The glass Red Dragon (Y Ddraig Goch) is a good gift for St David’s Day. (Video)
I make the Welsh dragon out of clear glass it is then coated with lamp lacquer which is cured in a hot box. By the way it’s not true we make the dragons go red by embarrassing them. ;) 


As you may know Saint David is the patron Saint of Wales, his day is 1st March, which is only 8 Days away!

Here’s a picture of the dragon:
