The Evolution of a Dragon

I wanted to show you a picture of the dragon

 before I started work the dross of  thread over the body of the dragon.  

I loved working with such different patterns and using my threads to merry the sections together.

The claws on the dragon kinda look a little bit like the Chinese dragon to me.

I like "crossing" over  different periods of art and different cultures.

I am working on seed stitching the mountain.  

You can see the close up of the tail and body in this picture also.
I wanted to give the dragon a kind of chameleon effect as if he was effervescent.

It has been fun hand stitching and "changing" the look of these fabrics.

You can also see that I have finished the clouds and the sun edge.  

Here is a link to an explanation of the Vision of the Year of the Dragon 2012.

I hope this inspires you to make your own dragon cloth.

Hope I didn't scare you but I just wanted to share my evolved "view" of the dragon..
