| 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!!!
