For quite a while I have been following @Makeship on instagram and wondered how cool it would be to someday design a plushie. I had imagined, that for that chance, I would need to wait for years to gather enough followers to even think about it again. But when they announced the #MakeshipMe competition, I knew this would be my chance. And that's why I decided to design a Little Dragon plushie.

In the story last year, he kept company for the shy gnome, who didn't have the courage to go to a party alone. And later when I decided the little dragon and the little witch would be friends, he then also became this little courageous voice to the girl. You can do it, you are good enough. You should just do your best and have the courage to try.  

That's why I would love to have a Little Dragon of my own too. To remind me to be brave. He would keep me going, working hard to reach my dreams. When I doubt myself, he would remind me I am good enough. And with the courage he gives to me, I would have even more resources to give the same courage and inspiration to other artist friends too. Together we can grow and become what we dream of.
