Dewin, the Wizard

Yeah, my wizard has finally decided to show up!  Let me introduce him to you.

​It all begins with me being a big lover of Disney movies, and Merlin from the Sword in the Stone is always the first wizard who pops into my head when I think of any wizard.  I wasn't sure though if this type of wizard was the direction I wanted to go.  Any wizard quirky like Merlin is just up my alley but my wizard needed to be a younger one.

I think Dewin, my wizard, still has a lesson or two to still learn.  But do you know how hard it is to find the perfect outfit for a wizard?  It isn't easy (*smiling).  So, I then went searching for my second favorite wizard, Gandalf of the Lord of the Rings for further inspiration.

Now as cool as these two wizards look and there is wonderful detail in the White Wizard's robe, this wasn't the texture I was looking for in Dewin's robes.  He is still a "doll" (don't say that too aloud around him) and still needs more bling or magical energy than a human dressed as a wizard.  In looking for something I wanted I was at least deciding on what I didn't want.

So back to the cutting board and my notes on Dewin.  As I said, he is young and is also willing to look into the darkness to see the light.  He wants balance between this world and the other one that he came from.  So very often when we are looking for magic, it is usually right in front of us, so I do feel he is on a search.  So... I went on a search of my own and opened my stash of fabric.  There I found this purple material with glitter mixed into it.  This is the bling I wanted for him.

Plus he needed his crystal ball.  After all, he will need it to fulfill his destiny with the Wish Dragon.  How he will do that will depend on what he finds when he sets out looking for that little Dragon that everyone keeps asking about. 

And so, without any further ado... Let me introduce you to
Dewin, the Wizard.
