ty..i think i'm only going to bs the dragon and the castle..leave the rocks along..i think they look good as is..but if I get a wild hair..i will go and do the whole thing..but I know i won't do the bushes in the rocks..seems a waste..want to them to be sorta soft..

I agree, it barely looks like it needs backstitch. Fabulous finish!!

Great work

Does it need the bs? It looks fabulous as it is

Looks fantastic, can't wait to see it with the BS as well!

your idea of leaving the rocks and so on bs-less will work very well I think -- less defined, more background-y, will make the dragon and the castle really stand out!

Amazing.. Love it already

i wanted to start my haed I just got but hubby said," why don't you backstitch the dragon/castle thing first"

do'h i forgot about that..working on the castles in the air and serendipity samplers..
i totally forgot.
So I pulled it out today and I swear after 5 min of trying to bs the fluffly parts on the wings..i went mad.
but he's right. I should finish it. it's so difficult to do because there is soooo much.

so..start pokin'. I think I'll have time later to stitch..keep me accountable!

It's gorgeous C_F and I know how you feel about the back stitch. I did this one a couple of years ago and I kept going back to the backstitch beween other things. But having said that it was so worth it when I finally finished it. Yours looks stunning already, well done.
