2007 Dragonsite Show
The sixth Dragonsite show was held in 2007 again at the Floatel in Northwich on the 7th of October 2007.
Waiting for opening time
On entering there was a free raffle with the first prize being an original sketch by Andrew Bill of Staffordian and two runners up prizes of vouchers
The original pencil sketch given as 1st prize in the raffle
As usual Andrew Bill was in attendance with Tina Sherratt who for the first time wasn't giving a painting display but she wasn't very well on the day

Teresa Bill & Andrew Hull relax
Kim & Andy discuss training techniques for the arm folding event in the next olympics...
...Tina Sherratt & Becky join in the training for the womens team...
...But Ivo shows them advanced training techniques by walking and folding his arms at the same time... what a pro
On display were new pieces by Andrew Bill for his Verbum Magus range; Relic (the Year Piece), Patriarch, Day & Night, (Berzerker was missing due to the only painted version being sent to China) the 2nd series of Bookwyrms were available to buy at long last (much later than the US got them) there were also a couple of new dragons that Andy had brought along that he was in the process of sculpting.

There weren't any of the Seven Sins on display which was a disappointment to many.
What we did get was masses of faeries on display by artists new to dragonsite, Selina Fenech, Ruth Thompson and Jacqueline Collen-Tarrolly as well as new pieces by Nene Thomas, Jessica Galbreth & Sheila Wolk, in fact we were over run with faeries.

Jacqueline Collen-Tarrolly
To make up for the lack of Dragons and mass of Faeries we were introduced to a new range that will be released by Dragonsite in the guise of an Andrew Hull sculpted Unicorn, I've been expecting this for a long time, in fact I expected it a long time ago because Adrian Donati the owner of the UK part of Dragonsite is probably the biggest collector of Andrew Hulls 'Fables' range of Unicorns and Pegasus and Griffins from Holland Studio Craft days

There was the obligatory colouring competition and there was a new paint your own fairy area

And the day finished how these shows always finished, with an auction...
