Please click on the thumbnails above to view larger images. The Web Winged Dragon weathervane is one of our favorite designs. We have a medium sized Web Wing in our own personal collection and often proudly display it in our living room. I love the way the tail wraps sinuously around the mounting tube below the rocky crag on which it is perched! Other people seem to like it as well as we have made them for customers all over the country. A very creative customer actually bought two weathervanes from us – one was the Web Winged Dragon and the other was our Rearing Steed and Knight weathervane. They were placed nearby on two adjacent roof gables. When the one blew one way, the Knight courageously challenged the fearsome dragon, however, when the wind blew the opposite direction, the Dragon got its chance to chase the fleeing knight! If I recall correctly, the customer also put night-lights up on the roof to display the ongoing drama at night. Another fun project was making a Web Winged Dragon as a special gift for the author, Joanne Bertin, author of the Dragonlord series. It was commissioned by one of her best friends. Since he was nice enough to order one of our weathervanes as a gift, he was pleased to know that he qualified for our Lifetime 10% Discount should he ever decided he wanted one of our weathervanes for himself. The copper dragon weathervane featured above has translucent topaz colored glass eyes although we have also made green eyed dragons, blue eyed dragons and emerald eyed dragons (above right, top thumbnail). Included in the price of this weathervane are gold leafed teeth, tongue, horns, talons, wing claws, spines and belly. Optionally, we can also gold leaf the ribs in the dragon’s wings or the actual wing panels between the ribs for an even more dramatic look. Please take a minute to look at some of the thumbnailed details of this wonderful dragon so you can see the detail that has gone into its making. Although it looks spectacular showcased on top of a cupola or turret, it is also ideal for a more intimate setting such as a garden or even an indoor perch where you can see all the details such as its scales and the spikes running down its spine, etc. When put outside, once the copper has eventually taken on its green patina; it should look even more like a “real” dragon! We also offer another dragon. You can click on the thumbnail (above left, top to see an enlarged view of Fire Breathing Dragon weather vane. The Roc Winged Dragon Weathervane, pictured above (left, middle thumbnail), is a personalization of our standard Web Wing Dragon Weather Vane. The wings on this design are very dramatic with their graceful curve. It was ordered by a customer who had an amazing sculpture of a Roc, an enormous mythical bird of prey, reputed to have been able to carry off and eat elephants. He sent us photos of his sculpture and we used it as the inspiration to create the spectacular wings you see here. Please contact us for a quote if you like these alternative wings.

We greet the dragon each time we enter or exit our driveway. He sits on a stone turret, part of the stone wall surrounding our home. He will accompany us to our new home which we are building on the Central CA coast. Most likely, we will find the need for a companion weather vane and will be in touch when our building plans are finalized.
Thanks for your great work, the quality was first rate and we are very pleased with how the copper is taking on a weathered appearance.
