The Steggie Story
Steggie was born with small wings, that flapped and fluttered,
until the day they started to whir, halt and sputter,
and eventually stopped working altogether.
Steggie’s long tail and large round bottom,
helped to soften any rough landings,
but were also the attributes that kept him grounded.
Indeed the plausibility of Steggie flying defied all sensibilities,
based on the size of his wings, his weight and the principles of gravity.
The wing malfunction was a concern to his loving mother,
but Steggie simply shrugged and said “No matter,”
for flying was not what made his heart go pitter patter.
This leaf green, spotted and perfectly pear shaped dragon,
found his calling in another passion.
Steggie had a proclivity for a certain non-airborne activity.
By lifting and flexing his brain in the library for days,
he developed an exceptional mental strength and weight.
No one could keep up with his voracious pace.
Within each book’s text was where he flew and drew figure 8s.
At the beginning, middle and end of chapters was where he played,
so in the library was where he stayed.
Steggie is a wonderfully unconventional dragon with a pear-shaped apple-green glass body, long pointed snout and little legs that seem to kick out around him. Red glitter spots scatter across the vivid green while a wild red mane and oversized gold glitter wings give him even more personality. Free blown, hand painted, decorated and glittered by artisans in Italy, this 5-inch JingleNog ornament turns an unlikely little dragon into a collectible full of character.
MATERIAL: Glass Paint Glitter Ribbon Stones
INCLUDES: 1 Handmade, European Glass Ornament
Give Steggie a branch with a little open space around him so his rounded body, outstretched legs and oversized wings can be seen from different angles. His unexpected dragon design also makes him fun to mix into a collection filled with unusual characters rather than traditional Christmas subjects.
Steggie is packed with details that make you look twice: a luminous leaf-green body, tiny red glitter spots, feathery red mane and enormous scalloped wings covered in dense gold glitter. Each component is shaped and attached by hand using traditional Italian free-blown glass techniques.
Let Steggie bring an unexpected character into a red, green and gold tree, where his colors feel right at home despite his decidedly unconventional shape. He can also anchor a grouping of fantasy, animal or storybook ornaments, especially where his sparkling wings have room to catch the tree lights.
