Notes

The Barrington Tops wilderness, with its mountains and beautiful forest is home to many endangered and threatened species, and is the ideal habitat for winged predators. Huge Australian wedge tailed eagles ride the thermals here, so why not Australian dragons, too?

If dragons and snakes are vaguely related, somewhere way back when (and why shouldn’t they be?), then you’d expect to see similarities between some of the snakes indigenous to a region and its dragons.

Red belly black snakes are fairly common in the area. Although venomous, they are a “good” snake to have around, being relatively non-aggressive, keeping small marsupial numbers under control and more aggressive and venomous snakes, such as brown snakes, out of their territory.

This full-length, deeply-hooded cape was inspired by the humble red belly black snake’s rarer and more elegant cousin, the red belly black dragon!

It is made exclusively from the exquisite yarns at www.soysilk.com . Soy, maize, soysilk/wool and bamboo yarns all join together to soar in this garment.

The eleven pairs of hooks set down the assymetrical front opening are made from sterling silver.
