Restoring , improving , giving new life to things .

About a year ago ,  i  bought a chinese dragon from a charity shop , for £3 . It didn't look much . I cleaned it last week and then painted it gold , with paint i bought from Wilco's . I intended to place it outside , above the front door . I've changed my mind about that now , because i think it will just get robbed . Instead , i've offered it to my Father , to give to his chinese friend , Ming .
