It's going to be wonderful with the backstitch, it'll really make all the difference and then you'll be so happy you persevered. :applesauce:

Do keep going with the backstitch, it's looking so good already and the backstitch will really make it come to life. Would some :cake: help it along?

Wow this looks fab - I don't mind backstitching too much (ok sometimes it drives me mad :D ) as it brings the pictures alive so much.

Oh it looks fantastic, I didn't realise there were going to be real charms on there, but it makes sense for the dragon to guard them :D
Great job! :applesauce:

I think it is really fabulous and you have been so quick with it too. The charms really make it. Good on you for doing the cording too, it sets off those parts nicely.

well done

Thanks everyone! I'm not completely done with it.. since my husband's aunt is an author I was thinking of making little books, shrinking down her book covers to match so that it looks like her books are part of the dragon's treasure :wink:
