If you want just the dragon and you know someone that is even mildly artistic Just painting it would be easiest and cheapest.

I used to put stuff on denim and leathers with airbrush frisket and acrylic gesso. Just enlarge what you want on a photocopier, lay the frisket on it, go over it with an xacto knife and stick it on the surface, use the gesso by painting away from the edges of the frisket (so the gesso doesnt go under the edges of the frisket template). real simple and it lasts for years and is real easy to touch up.

Whats a "frisket"?

XHonusWagnerX - 11-11-2005 at 09:15 AM

you could probably find a place at a mall that airbrushes and it should be pretty cheap to have them do something simple like that.

Frisket is transparent adhesive film on tracing paper. you trace over the design with a blade through the paper and then peel the film off the sheet. they use it for airbrusing

Ah, ok. Kinda like contact paper but on a clear backing instead of white (so you can see what you are tracing)? I should ook for that stuff because I etch glass sometimes and usuallt end up drawing out my designs onto contact paper and then cutting. Tracing would be ALOT easier.
