Holey moley!!! I absolutely love him!!! You out did yourself!

[@romualdconvre1983]

Falkor, this movie was so beautiful, for the kids, yes but we're all kids somewhere ... thanks for that video

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

yes, sometimes those characters will just live in our hearts forever. I love the memories I have of watching this with my kids and their reaction to it. Brings a smile to my face every time I think of it

[@TheKrazysinner]

has anyone ever told you that you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY TALENTED??? if not well I'll tell you.... your skills and imagination are just jaw dropping. I have watched a few different videos of yours and just wow I am simply amazed at your crafting skills.

[@nikkijennings5425]

Everything you make is so clever and beautiful, I love the films you’ve made characters from. Wonderful, brings back memories of making fairies with my kids when they were little

[@nikkiejones4606]

Ohmygosh wow 👏wow 👏wow wow 👏absolutely awesome job! Your son must absolutely adore your creations for him! What a wonderful dragon! I loved the neverending story as a child too! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this masterpiece! Thank you so much for sharing ❤God bless you and your family abundantly in all things and much love from me too! 🙏❤🥰😘

[@MasseyKY]

You've really inspired me to sculpt figures using your foil and tape method. Usually I would think I had to sculpt from styrofoam but I am definitely going to try your method in future. Great work! Looks just like Falkor!

[@barbaraness4507]

My first project sculpting with foil was a creepy tree over five feet tall! I have to tell you that process becomes a bit of an obsession for me! In 2018 I had surgery, and the same day I got home I resumed building! Lol

[@digupstuff]

I love your luck dragon and I love that movie! Thank you for sharing!!! ♥️🦋🥀🐉

Dragon dentures, the picture in my head is hilarius! My oldest just passed a major mile stone in her life, this would make a perfect gift. Thank you for sharing this. It is her favorite movie, and dragon.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I kept giggling about that off camera too, I cracked myself right up lol And that's really awesome, it's a thrill for me to hear that others will make him too. Have fun, keep me posted if you can!

[@debbralehrman5957]

He came out great. And I remember watching this numerous times also. It came out when the older kids were 7&9yrs. Then when our youngest was born in 99' she eventually found the VHS and we got to watch it again and again......... That and Warriors of Virtue I did hide that one after a while. Thanks for the video again.

[@darksideofken]

Always something to be learned , the fur on fur technique is great as is the burlap for dragon scales , brilliant !

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I can't wait to try the burlap again, I think that could really be something great. And thank you :)

I absolutely loved your video, I was just about to buy a Falkor plush for my father online because he loves the movie and I thought it would be a great gift to get him for Christmas or his birthday but then I came across your video and your version of Falkor looks so much better. I’m definitely going to make my own now, hopefully it comes out as great as yours. And thank you so much for sharing your techniques and tips, I’m definitely going to be using them in the future.

ohhh my goodness, you just made my day, I'm glad they enjoyed the video and I hope they enjoy the movie too! My kids are older teens now but they still watch the movie with me every now and then. So many great memories.

[@markkevin7245]

Really love this …. So glad u stick with easy to find materials… with amazing results

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you so much 😊 When I first started crafting and got urges to build something, I was only able to do so when my babies went to sleep for the night and I couldn't leave the house, most of the time stores were closed anyway, so I needed to build with stuff I had in the house already. I'm so grateful for those times since it taught me to work with what I had. I always remember that in videos when I could use other materials, maybe some clay or something ready made, I think about moms or dads out there with babies asleep and how great it is to have options.

[@markkevin7245]

@@WhereTheGnomesLive what a great lesson for anyone.... u you get the crafting urge just go use what u have... which doesn’t make the creation any less great or special ...

Would it work to use 2 liter soda bottles, inside of the foil? To use less foil and recycle the bottles!?

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Yes, you can use filler. I find it easier to sculpt without anything myself but that’s just me

[@BelleBelle333]

(Sorry this is so long) Yes!! I grew up on this movie, and I always loved the Luck Dragon, he’s so cute and just a beautiful character and you did an amazing job on recreating him out of so little, he looks extremely beautiful here and you even gave him his eyelashes!! Thank you so much! Im not sure if you’ve seen Bugs Bunny(though I’m sure you have) I couldn’t stop thinking about the green dragon from Knighty Knight Bugs, I would love to see you try and recreate him! And have you also made anything like a mushroom or a mythical tree? Cause I’m now wanting to try and make those two things, was just wondering if you had any videos like that!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you and it's not too long, no worries. I'm glad you like the mini dragon, he was fun to make. I've seen bugs bunny but can't recall the dragon, I'll have to google it, lol And yes, I've made a mushroom house, it was yrs ago now, the video isn't that great so I hope to refilm it one day. It's also on my blog I'll link you there so you can look around at other posts too, you'll be brought to the post itself so you'll have to click my blog name to get to the main page, there's also a search bar there www.sharonojala.com/2016/05/mushroom-house-video-tutorial.html
