From Etsy to Independence, My Journey as a Dragon Maker
I uploaded my first dragon to Etsy with shaky hands and a loud printer humming beside me. I wanted to know if anyone out there loved dragons as much as I do. Orders began to trickle in. Then they poured in. Within a few months we crossed one thousand sales. Reviews came back again and again with five stars. I read every note. I saved many of them. That early trust from the Etsy community still means everything to me.

Etsy taught me the spirit of handmade. Every dragon is printed in my studio, cleaned, checked, and assembled by me. I glue the eyes by hand. I test the joints and adjust the tolerances. Some nights I stay up late to remake a part because a customer asked for a special color blend or a smoother wing edge. I feel tired in the morning and happy at the same time. The work is personal and it shows.
As more people joined our little world, I pushed the designs further. The classic V1 became the piece many collectors start with. Then I built V2, larger and sturdier, with a gemstone tail that catches the light. Recently, V2 also gained custom eye options. Buyers can now choose from more than ten eye designs, giving each dragon its own spirit.

Custom eyes followed because people wanted their dragon to look back at them with a certain mood. V3 is a Wyvern with two wings and two hind legs, and a stronger wing joint that loves to pose. The colors grew too. Deep black and red. Ocean blues. Gold that looks alive. I enjoy the experiments. Many of them began as customer requests.
Along the way I registered TimPrintDreams Inc. It felt like a promise to everyone who believed in me. A real company means better systems, clearer warranties, safer packaging, and faster answers. It also lets me keep prices fair as we grow beyond a single marketplace.
I have also had the chance to work with schools. We set up small showcases and hands-on sessions. Teachers smile when a dragon spreads its wings on their desk. Kids hold a model and ask how it moves without screws. Those moments are simple and bright. I go home feeling that making things can change a day for someone.
Our dragons now travel farther than I ever imagined — 788 cities across 20 countries. The United States, France, Germany, Australia, Romania, and many more have already welcomed them. Each time I print a label for a new city, I pause for a moment. A creature I once designed on a screen is about to cross oceans and mountains to reach someone’s home. I want that unboxing to feel like opening a story.

Etsy will always be my roots. I am grateful for the first thousand customers and the hundreds of five star reviews. At the same time, building an independent site lets me serve you better. I can offer lower prices, lower shipping, and special bundles. I can publish guides, care tips, and behind-the-scenes notes without limits. Most of all, I can keep the handmade pace and quality that started this journey.

If you found me through Etsy, thank you for being here. If you are new, welcome. Look through the classic V1, the larger V2 with the gemstone tail, and the V3 Wyvern that loves to pose. Pick the eyes that match your story. Choose a color that feels right. I will make it for you with care.
I build dragons to spread joy. Seeing them travel to classrooms, game tables, and shelves around the world makes me proud and very happy. This is more than a shop to me. It is a path I walk with you, one dragon at a time.
