Loving the dragon, whatever he is

Over the week I have been working on my Lovey Mum piece in my conservatory:



This seems to be moving forward faster than my Celestial Dragon:



Where I have nearly finished the top face of his neck on the left of the piece and you can see I have just moved on to using a combination of yellow threads used for the spines on the top of the neck.

Great progress Jo, Lovely Mum is just, well, lovely.

Celestial Dragon is beautiful and coming along beautifully.

Is that a single bead I spy just above where your needle is currently resting?

Not yet . I am saving the beading until last as it makes it difficult to scroll the piece on the frame. The "shiny bit" is some of the metallic thread catching the light - there is a lot of metallic thread on the dragon, the camera doesn't do it justice.

Lovely progress on both pieces! I love dragons and this one looks like it will be especially lovely.

Carole

Lovely work

Both are beautiful.

I do love that subtle sparkle in the dragon!

Thank you for following along on my pieces

The weather has changed and its gone all hot. I am not a lover of hot weather and it is not at all pleasant in my Conservatory so very little has been done this week on Lovely Mum:



Thankfully the stitching conditions are much cooler in my dining room (and I can feed my feathered friends at the same time ) so I have mainly been working on Celestial Dragon:



I was working on this rather late yesterday evening as I was on a bit of a roll as the outline of the body towards the bottom was coming into view. I will have to either have a siesta or an early night today

Jo

I love this piece and I love how beautiful your stitching of it is. I think siestas were made for hot weather afternoons so you can enjoy cooler evenings.

Carole

I don't like the hot weather either
You are doing a grand job with these. The dragon is beautiful.

I wilt in the heat, I really do not do well and phew is it hot today.

Lovely Mum is still lovely and your Dragon is absolutely beautiful.

Lovely stitching.

I love the colours of your dragon.

Beautiful stitching.

Thank you Ladies, It has been too hot for days and I am cracking on with my Celestial Dragon:



Just given up on the temperature outside so I am about to start again

Jo

Well he’s just whipping along now. Looks great.

Great progress - looking lovely.

I repeat myself "I love this dragon"

Carole

Thank you,

The weather is going to be very hot for the coming week so so the outlook is for more cross stitch time

I normally try to only update you once a week otherwise it can get a bit boring but hopefully you might appreciate a few more additional updates on this one when it increases significantly

Jo

The more the merrier!

Carole

He's a stunning creature and you are bringing him to life beautifully!
