X_woman's Dragon Project

Design Name and Theme

This design was for my grandson, who told me how much he liked dragons, so I decided to make him one. He also told me his favorite dragon colors, which were blue, green and red. The design was a freebie from a site linked on the About.com Cross Stitch Forum and I can't identify the designer, but who ever you are "Thank You".

Tools and Techniques Used

This chart was supposed to be stitched as blackwork, but I wanted to make it in my grandson's colors. It is worked on 14 ct beige Aida with gold threads. The legs are green while the body is blue with a red metallic tongue.

Advice

  • Working on the Aida with the gold threads was a first. I had never used it before but I think I made a good choice for this design.
