Playing With Fire

We in the Greater Montreal region do love Summer, precisely because it is so short around here.  We are also fond of the many tools and instruments associated with the season.  Things like barbecues, fire pits, smokers and other such paraphernalia.  We like them even more when themed after our favourite genre, and there are quite a few that are indeed shaped in interesting ways.

Some are mass-produced, but most of the best are those handcrafted work of art fashioned by truly devoted artisans.  Here is a sampling of things that I would not mind having in my own backyard.

How to make Dragon Eggs

 

How to make a dragon egg with nail polish and thumb tacks

These geeky items are gorgeous, easy to make, and relaxing. If you have these items, here’s how to make a dragon egg…

  • flat metal tacks
  • foam board, closed and open-cell foam (to line up and paint the tacks)
  • a styrofoam egg of any size (found in the floral department of your local craft store, usually)
  • shimmery nail polish (I recommend a prismatic or holographic nail polish for maximum snake-like glisten)
