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..

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!

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.
