Drink Can Dragon




I am still unfortunately unable to carve! It looks like the doctor will be getting a call.

Not the usual work displayed but a bit of fun to keep you tuning into the blog. I might even display in the Folksy Shop for sale one day.




The hammer effect pictures added 24th Jan after the original post.


I have previously converted cans into ash trays and windmills, I love the graphics on cans when used in craft projects.


The dragon design I have been doodling for ages and appears on the carvings sometimes in pyrography. (Its a Henna Tattoo design I've adapted)


These guys are glued to stiff card and distressed. I have designed them to be hung from wire but you might have a better idea.

Anyway beats sitting doing nothing and I think they are quite unique.


I have a few beer can dragons under way and I'm working on a few more designs. If you have any ideas or inspiration let me know, if the elbow doesn't clear up I will be doing more of this stuff.

Back to the normal carving soon I hope.

Ziggi is still on three legs as well.

regards Dave

  1. Your dragons are unique and wonderful! Tin work is big here and I have a little guitar made out of a Fanta Orange can but I've seen nothing like your dragons. Love them!

  2. Dave, they look great! Nice sharp outlines and angles, and a lot of character.
    How about an Irn Bru one - or don't you get that down your way?

    Elizabeth: yes we do and yes it would be great with the lovely orange colour.
