Tonya McNeil has kindly agreed for the geo dragon to be model of the month, Tonya has a few DVD's/CD's out and I will find out if these instructions are on one of her published discs.
There is another geo dragon on this link; geo-dragon-t3057.html
This is Tonya's portfolio page; http://twistedcrittersnmore.balloonhq.com/ and website http://www.twistedcrittersnmore.com/

Thanks Leslie :-).  And no, the instructions for that one was supposed to be on the "Blossom Bodies" DVD, but unfortunately it was cut due to time constraints.  Thanks for using it as the model of the month Graham.  I can't wait to see other versions of it :-)
Have a happy day <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=\":-)\" title=\"Smile\" />

I just had to register to post my re-creation of Tonya's Geo Dragon! I have her Blossom Bodies and have to say that her directions are clear, easy to follow, and very fun! (I love the frog the best!) So, thank you, Tonya, for this bonus idea! I really love it!
And that dune buggy is adorable too!

How do we get the instructions? Never tried model of the month but have just ordered my geo blossoms today!!

The idea is you attempt the model with no instructions as sometimes it's a good learning curve, you sometimes come up with a different way to end up with the same result. At the end of the month I will add the instructions to the forum, good luck and have fun.

There are also another 28/29 model of the month to try as well if your keen, they will have the instructions up but you could not look at them before you try to make the model.

Thank you Carolsue for registering and joining in....and thanks for the compliments. Your dragon turned out very cute :)  I'm glad you like the Blossom Bodies DVD. I think the frog is my favorite too  ;)

Ok, so people went crazy for the dragon, so I had to make a more boy friendly color. I made the Geo's a bit smaller, and put a pinch twist in between the feet, and I remembered the raisin in the Geo this time, even though you can't tell from the picture.

It's a little different, but I think it has it's own personality.

Thank you again for the idea, Tonya!

Hi

I was one of the lucky ones and got the instruction before, but even then I found it a challenge. All I had was white Geo's left.

Thanks For sharing the design Tonya it's excellent!!  :D
