The Dragon Boat - part 2

Next I needed to add an inner lining for the boat - somewhere comfortable to sit, after all it IS a boat, not a jet ski!

I made a type of pouch to fit inside the body - 

this next picture of the reverse shows the amount of top sewing that went into the fabric collage:

Again the opening was too soft to hold its shape and I had to create a channel to take a circle of aluminium sculpting wire so the opening would stay open.

and here it is being fitted into the body of the boat:

In the next post, I show how the head was attached and the finished boat.
