Sea Dragons

Did you know that sea dragons come from the sea on beautiful summer days hiding in the haze of sea mist? They lay their eggs upon the crests of waves that lap against the shore.
These eggs are elusive, and if you are lucky enough you may stumble upon them.
If you are lucky enough to find these elusive and sparkling eggs treat them with care and throw them back into the waves….

We found some sea dragon eggs.

(Shhhhhh… I made our dragon eggs using Jawbreakers and nail varnish and with a dose of slight of hand bought the magic alive)

Here’s how I did it….

I started by given a few jaw breakers a few coats of sparkly nail varnish…

with the aid of a cut sponge and slight of hand I made some dragon tracks…

I told Mila about the sea dragons, their elusiveness & how if we looked really carefully we may find traces of them…she picked out things she thought may be evidence…

and sure enough with a little gentle guidance she stumbled upon dragon footprints…

I lay our eggs in wait as everyone played in the sea with an underlying hope of glimpsing a sea dragon..

The eggs lay where the crest of the waves meets the sun kissed shoreline…

I waited and watched as Mila came out of the sea…

and then she stumbled upon the strange sparkly blue eggs…

she listened to them and said she could hear popping…. DRAGON BABIES LEARNING TO SPOUT WATER!!…

I lay some more but they were left undiscovered…

we made pictures in the sand of what we thought a water breathing sea dragon would look like..

we kept our sea dragon eggs for the afternoon and then decided to return to the shore and throw them back into the crests of the waves….

It was a magical find and we’ll remember our discovery of sea dragons forever…
