It had fallen between the sunflowers,
a victim of profound lack of imagination.Rather smaller than I expected, or perhaps that as well is a sign of the times.
In any case I salvaged enough good hide to make a belt and maybe a wallet or something. There are surprisingly few good resources on preparing and tanning imaginary dragon hide, so I had to wing it. I am pleased with the results!
This dragon hatched out of its egg as a sunflower.
Here are the original two cropped black and white sections of my original sunflower photography that evolved into the dragon hide shared here.

I did my customary blend of PhotoShop manipulation/painting/cloning/rotating/cropping/etc. and layering multiple passes through the DeepDreamGenerator to achieve these results.
