2004 Dragonsite Christmas Show
There wasn't a Dragonsite show held in 2003, this was due to a few reasons, one of them was the change over of ownership of the UK side of the company from Phill & Dea Holland to Adrian Donati, so the third Dragonsite show was held in 2004 at a new location of Northwich at the Floatel on the 11th of December 2004..
This was the only show I couldn't make it to due to ill health and personal reasons, I'd made it to all the Enchantica Extravaganzas so I was disappointed that I couldn't make it to this one.
Andrew Bill was in attendance as always and new Painter to the company Tina Sherratt was on hand to give a painting display where she painted the Andrew Bill sculpted piece 'Secrets' that was sold in the auction later that day.
Andrew Bill & Tina Sherratt
Secrets partially complete
On display were new pieces by Andrew Bill for his Verbum Magus range; Aura (Air) & Renascence, plus Andys Bookwyrms were introduced to the public for the first time, the first four Orchestral Faeries based on the art of Nene Thomas were also unveiled along with the 2005 Year Piece by Andrew Bill
Spellbound (previously known as 'The Librarian' ) was finally available to buy with a new colour and some minor alterations and there was also a limited edition black & white A3 print by Andrew Bill called Sentinel.
There was the obligatory colouring competition and the day finished how these shows always finished, with an auction.
