Aldana

My name is Lindsey  (a.k.a Aldana) and I have been collecting dragons since I was 17, I am now 23.

It all began with a dream. I was doing A-level art and I was doing a sculpture project. I had a dream about a dragon and the next day I was busy drawing (albeit very weak) dragons. In the months that followed Norbert was created, all 6ft of him. (Yes I am a Harry Potter fan.)

During this time I got my first dragon ornament, a red dragon free from a magazine called Beasts and Legends.

Norbert now resides in my garden and after that project I had a lot of modrock left over so I made a red dragon and a green dragon.


My collection had now grown with dragons from the Tudor mint., and other dragons that people have given me over the years, I had no Enchantica as it was too expensive.

I discovered an air drying clay which was much easier to sculpt with and I made a wyvern plaque, a big black and silver dragon (affectionally nick
named Pancake) and then a small black and red dragon.

For my btec national diploma I was able to make another Dragon called Jasper, he was made from papier mache and his wings contain a book of
poetry.

Then the dawn of ebay! That's when I brought my first Enchantica piece Khulii, still looking for a Javerell. I also got Rattajack and Snappa.

I decided that my sculpting wasn't going very well and so I just stick to drawing Dragons.



 

By now I had dragons all over the place and my Mum was starting to get annoyed. "Why don't  you like girly things like faeries?" to my Mum's
surprise I did like faeries and when I went to a local spiritual shop I fell in love with a small naked fairy covered in Ivy (probably not the kind of
faerie my Mum was thinking of!) When I got home I searched the internet and found the fairy was based on the art work of Nene Thomas. The following week I had won Ivy off Ebay and She came in a box reading TheDragonsite.com. I typed this into the url bar and I was introduced into a whole new world! Lots of faeries and above all lots of amazing dragons! I was in awe.

My main focus now is collecting Nene's faeries but I can't help but pick up a few dragons along the way!

I have a tiny room and so my collection is spilling over into my boyfriends, He doesn't know this yet but one dragon will have "Pride" of place on his
shelf.
