WANDERLUST WEEK!

Day 66: A Day for Dragons
  
   Dragons are among the most popular and enduring of the world's mythological creatures. Dragon tales are known in many cultures, from the Americas to Europe, and from India to China. They have a long and rich history in many forms and continue to charm, attract and enthrall us.

Destination:  Worlds of Fun and Dragons Galore

   Worlds of Fun reopened this week which reminded Della of good memories of summer fun.  "Working at Worlds of Fun  was perhaps not as glamorous as I had expected. There were lots of hot days selling sticky cotton candy next to the Zambezi Zinger ride or hours spent sitting at the top of the Viking Voyager in a Scandinavian Heidi-style costume with puffy sleeves and criss cross ribbons making sure everyone followed the rules, but working there was also full of friends, laughter and sunshine".
   
One of the rides at WOF now is "Spinning Dragons" which can be either fun or hair-raising:

Spinning Dragons POV - Roller Coaster at Worlds of Fun


  If you feel like venturing out and "traveling the world", at Worlds of Fun you can sample the ambiance of other cultures with food, music, and thrilling rides in each section of the park. Here is a link to help with reservations and planning:

But, you may still want to remain at home and find ways to explore so maybe schedule a movie night with your housemates:

  This large flying dragon is approximately 33"x22"x27" and can come apart
in 4 pieces for moving. It is ready to hang. It is from Bali and is a fine example of the colors and designs used in many carved flying creatures. In Balinese culture, dragons are revered and viewed as divine.

If you prefer a little more understated
dragon, this one could be the right one to consider. He is made of one piece of suar wood, carved in Bali and measures approx 7"x8"x5". 



Of course, dragons appear on many handcrafted items.The Chinese chest below opens from the front and provides storage along with beautifully painted dragons.


Dimensions are approx 24" x 14" x 13"

Dragon motifs are found throughout Asian cultures. This mask is often used for Chinese New Year celebrations. It has a movable mouth and is made of wood and cardboard.  It measures approx 13"x 8"x 9"

The foo dog below is from Thailand and while is not technically a dragon, it was just too interesting not to include. He seems like he could fit in.

  
The foo dog measures approximately 14" x 11" x 3" and is made entirely of fired clay.

We currently have one piece of silver jewelry in the form of a dragon. It is a pendant that can be strung on cord or chain.



Notice the pearl? Chinese dragons generally will have a pearl representing an egg as the beginning of life that the dragon protects.

Finally, if the idea of a full dragon seems like a big step, we invite you to consider some Dragon's Blood soap from Indigo Wild, based in Kansas City. According to them this goat's milk soap is sure to tame even the most savage of skin.
