Dragon Time!

All the information you need to explore

My Castle, My Dragon

is up on the website

at

The Black Sheep Shop

Orlando, Florida

Space is limited, so early sign up would be wise :)

We are definitely going to have a lot of fun bringing this
handsome beast to life.
We'll explore needle weaving, beads, sequins, raised stem
and a host of string art created for 'just that spot'.  

Yes, to beading the planet and moons!

Swooping in for his big debut June 25 & 26!!!
Come join us for the fun!

from small beginnings....

He started off as a small line drawing
within a larger piece of art
for my sons graduation.....

His original self was a pen and ink
that hovered above a hand lettered message
to my son, Desiderata.  
He's now a full seven by twelve
with even more love poured in
with each stitch I placed.

His big debut will arrive 
June 25 & 26
in a weekend workshop at
The Black Sheep Shop
Orlando, Florida!

I hope you can join us for two days of
colorful, fun stitching.
There is a lot to explore in this design!

My summer place ....

....and what planet do you come from?

October 1!!

How?? 

Seems like yesterday we were still in August! 

Where did September go??

These beautifully fall colored Echinacea
greeted us as we entered our local museum
Sunday afternoon.
I love these flowers in all colors! Mostly I've seen them
in the deep fuchsia I love so much. 

I was going to be totally selfish with this piece,
keep it just for moi.
A piece was needed to demonstrate finishing
for my ongoing classes in Orlando at
The Black Sheep
So I pulled colors I love and the magic happened.
Ruth said NO, you have to share.
So, I am going to use this one as a teaching piece.
I have several places to submit to for classes, 
nice to have something ready.

Progress!
His spikes are growing and soon to sparkle!
I decided on Raised Stem, I'd totally
forgotten about this gem of a stitch!

Cool! 
Look at that dimension!
I found a wonderful stitch for the sky to try out from 
Sheena's Sweet Stitches!
Amazing where we all find inspiration!

small bits...

... a new adventure ... this is one kind of happy for me. 

Just drawing. 

Of course, these bits will turn into larger bits 

with huge amounts of color and then ... 

but of course, they'll be enhanced with threaded needle! 

Another kind of happy is new mechanical pencils. Yeah!

These bits are only 5"square ... for now.

Details ... can bog me down. Like what I've finally worked out.

He has a name ... Harumph!
said grumpily with some air behind the 'rumph' part.
This may change as he becomes happier
with his adornments, for now he's not
doing well with my slowness in getting him stitched.
