Introducing
"My Castle, My Dragon"©
Figured you could watch me bring this to life...
this will be available ... after it's totally complete.

| Once again, I love what I do! Even when it takes an entire day to accomplish one small area! I haven't come up with a name for my beast, it'll come to me though. Scales, sparkle and shine and ... well defined! |

| His ear and eye ridge. Eye ridges are important to dragons. |

| So a little more sparkle to the ridge. I managed to move to an area that is the Sahara Desert of Needlepoint. Not one shop is close by. I do, however, know how to pick up the phone. But ... sometimes ... WHO wants to wait. The idea is there and you're ready to stitch. This happened on his eye ridge. I only have Kreinik #8 in 3202, one of my favorites, so it's not odd that I'm out of a size. Another BUT ... did you know you can strip/ply some braids?? It's not easy but it is possible. So I gently extricated three very fine plies from my #8 and worked just the tiniest bit of string art on his ridge ... and it's perfecto! Warning...this may take a while for me to stitch. I'm on a roll right now but shortly I'll be winging my way to Germany for ... drum roll ... can you believe it's been a year??? Emma's first birthday!!!

You can always do the obvious - Puff. And then there is your title - Wicked. DO you want an evil terrible dragon or a rather sweet lovable one?

He is grumpy and lovable and very protective....a sound keeps coming to mind as I stitch 'Harumph'
DeleteKim, you always amaze me with your gorgeous creations! This dragon is looking very handsome and the colors in this piece are just gorgeous...but they always are! ... Little Emma is totally adorable in her sweet cardigan. There truly is no end to your wonderful talents, my friend! I hope you have a great trip over to celebrate her birthday! xo
ReplyDeleteOh Paulette, thank you. This will be my second trip over, last time was for her birth!
DeleteYou are so talented. I admire your work so much. Have fun with the little one in Germany. I've been there. It's a truly beautiful, remarkable country!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon! It is beautiful, so much is unspoiled. I was so impressed by how there isn't much urban sprawl. Lots and lots of green!
DeleteOf course, the big draw is family and my sweet little Emma. Amazing how fast the year has sped by.
I think I am going to have to stitch this. Hurry, hurry!
ReplyDeleteOh Jane, he's across the room from my stitching chair. He's very grumpy at being put aside while I work some magic on another piece. This one is not good at working more than one piece at a time. Unless it's basketweave :)
