Newest dragon cross stitch - A Meeting of Minds

Priscilla · Mar 20 2010, 03:47 PM

You can never have too many dragons, right? I bought this pattern and decided to do it up. It came with a piece of dyed linen fabric, which I don't know how to stitch on so I sent that to a friend who does crafts with cloth, etc. The pattern itself calls for only one color of thread, but I thought that would be too bland. Looking at the photo of a completed dragon that came with the pattern it looked like there had been at least two shades used, so I went through the pattern and marked it up based on how I thought it ought to look. Now, I could do it in as many colors as I want (reds, browns, greens. . . sky's the limit!) Here it is:

***Hans*** · Mar 20 2010, 03:57 PM

He's gorgeous, Priscilla. A real blue cutie and the shading came out very nice. Well done

Priscilla · Mar 20 2010, 05:10 PM

Thanks.

**Cheryl** · Mar 20 2010, 05:11 PM

Very lovely, sinuous dragon, and perfectly Pernish! Well done, Cilla!

Priscilla · Mar 20 2010, 07:07 PM

And now my largest. After 7 years I'd almost convinced myself I never really made this one. A couple weeks ago I was looking through a big box of photos for something else entirely and came across several photos of this. Actual proof that it exists!

The photo doesn't show how big it was, naturally; and I don't have the pattern currently readily available. I do know it made a pretty good lap warmer while I was sewing it.

OMG

I love the blue one...but that second one is AWESOME. Having done one large project, I know how much work went into that. My fingers ACHE thinking about how much work went into that!

Priscilla · Mar 20 2010, 08:10 PM

I think one of the hardest parts was the mass of golden sky. While that may look like mostly one color, it really wasn't and the color changes . . .

Thanks! What was the big project you've done?

Allen · Mar 20 2010, 08:48 PM

Love the blue dragon, so much in fact that I want to steal it and use it for a scroll saw pattern.

The other is the cover from Moreta, isn't it? I can only imagine the work making that in cross stitch.

mawra · Mar 20 2010, 09:41 PM

Both of them are very well done. I wish I could do cross stitch, but my hands won't let me.

kevia · Mar 20 2010, 10:30 PM

I love both of them, but I'd love doing the first one in cross stitch myself! There's something about the simple elegance of the design that appeals to me a great deal!

Samsara · Mar 20 2010, 10:59 PM

Wow Priscilla! That looks amazing!! I wish I was crafty like that!

You're more than welcome to, Draco. I can send you a copy of the pattern if that would be easier? Or can you snag it just by looking at the photo of my finished stitching? And yes, the other is the Moreta cover. It took me almost a year and a half to make. That was almost 9 years ago that I started it, I'm sure I'd work faster now.

Thanks, everybody.

Brenda · Mar 21 2010, 10:49 AM

You should try putting that second one in a scanner to take a picture!

Priscilla · Mar 21 2010, 11:07 AM

I would, except I mailed it to Anne about 7 years ago. Finding the photos of it was a nice trip down memory lane for me!

I did a scene of an elk on the edge of a lake in a pine forest for my brother. TOok me a full year to get it done, I broke two needles, and I lost track of how many times I jabbed my finger.

r2005 · Mar 21 2010, 01:33 PM

Both of those are amazing.

Most of my projects are small. I have a couple that I'm nearly finished with, but they need French knots to finish them off, and I have a lot of trouble doing them. The next time I see me grandmother, I need to get her to show me how to do it, again.

Golden Talisath · Mar 21 2010, 03:19 PM

Wow, the both of them are amazing, the first one looks so simple and yet I can't even imagine how much love and hard work you put in to it! Very nice job, both of them! The Moreta cover looks wonderful!

I saved your pic and enlarged it. I'll run it into either Photoshop or Gimp2 and work on it. Now I'll have two reclining dragons.

Cilla...WOW!!!

the new dragon is soooo beautiful...and the idea that you could do it in any color and all the different shades in that color are mind boggling. It's lovely to see your still turning out such fantastic work...I will always cherish and love

the ones that you've created for me especially my Helva

...she stands watching over me, even now as I type this.

Lanen · Mar 24 2010, 11:41 AM

Priscilla - what a fabulous dragon! Wow! Is that your own original pattern, and if not where can I get hold of it (paying the creator for the work, of course)?

wow... gorgeous...

And I am absolutely with you on the multi-colour decision, adds depth and interest. Wow!

Priscilla · Mar 24 2010, 04:35 PM

Lanen, you can get that pattern from the craft catalog company called Herrschners. Herrschners.com The pattern is called Paladin and the price I paid for it was $24.99. It came with some fabric.

R'na · Mar 24 2010, 10:54 PM

Priscilla that is beautiful work.

Lanen · Mar 25 2010, 06:03 AM

Thanks Priscilla! and having seen the original pattern, your interpretation is definitely better. Miles better!

I agree!!!

Becky · Apr 3 2010, 01:49 AM

Cilla.....I love the blue dragon.....like you said now that you've got sorted the shading you can do whatever colors you like! That's awesome and sometimes the most simple patterns draw the most attention.
Not to detract from your Moreta....that one has always amazed me. Especially how you do one inch at a time. I couldn't do it. I have to use up as much of each color as I can when I do my cross stitch, as I've told you.

I can see how the gold is not all the same color, it really is amazing.
Remember that pansy pic I'm doing? Well, it's sitting at work....untouched for a few months. Since getting my Kindle for Christmas I've been reading.

But I'll get back to it at some point. I enjoy being able to read again....easily read that is since the Kindle can adjust font size......so once the 'newness' has worn off I'm sure I'll get back to my pansies.

Thank you so much for sharing your new dragon pattern!

Priscilla · Mar 5 2011, 08:35 PM

Here is the latest. This one is also for my son, who really loves dragons. Not that Jenn and Mike don't love dragons too (Mike has two huge dragons tattooed on his upper arms), but Fred likes the kind of dragons I like. Doesn't have to make sense, I guess.

http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k2...t=DSCN1396.jpg

This has a lot of metallic thread and seed beads on it that don't show up in the picture. Lot of work. Every time I use seed beads I swear I'll never do it again. Then something else comes along and I "forget" how much they aggravate me to work with!

Samsara · Mar 6 2011, 12:10 AM

It's lovely Priscilla! I love the design of the dragon & the colours you have used. Very nice.

Lady Maelin · Mar 6 2011, 12:51 AM

Cilla...this one is sooOOOoooo very BEAUTIFUL...The colors you chose with this one make it really stand out very well. Fred is very lucky to have a Mom that is so talented...as are those of us who are also lucky enough to have been gifted

:

one or more, of your very wonderful creations.

***Hans*** · Mar 6 2011, 03:00 AM

This one is intricate, looks astonishing and also looks large. What a work! Congrats on getting that done. Gorgious!

Priscilla · Mar 6 2011, 07:24 AM

Thanks, everyone.

It's a kit, I can't claim any credit for the choice of colors. I will claim credit for persevering and getting it done!

Not too bad though. I started mid-December, and did a few small items as well to keep myself sane. When I do something big, I can't work on it every day!

GinnyStar · Mar 6 2011, 02:01 PM

Nice one, I've got seed beads, somewere but I find them way to small to work with, got them as part of set, that I still have to unpack yet

kevia · Mar 6 2011, 07:28 PM

That is SO beautiful!

***Anneli*** · Mar 10 2011, 05:55 PM

Stunning, as always,

jube · Mar 11 2011, 08:33 AM

Nina · Mar 18 2011, 05:40 AM

Really beautiful blue dragon - I am almost tempted to get out my needles and start stiching again - very inspirational!!

Priscilla,

I LOVE your blue dragon! I would love to have the graph to make this for my 8 year old grandson.
Thanks so much!

Priscilla · Apr 28 2013, 10:43 AM

Oh dear. I wish I could accommodate you but it looks like I didn't save the pattern. After doing it in a couple colors I guess I must have decided I'd had enough. I did buy it from a needlework catalog company. Maybe you would be lucky and find it with google? Sorry!

Priscilla · May 30 2013, 04:56 PM

I'm not sure if I posted a picture of this elsewhere on the site. This is the picture I had framed for Jenn for her 30th birthday.

"The name rowan is believed to derive from the Norse runa - "a charm". It was often planted outside houses to ward off witches. On May Day a spray of rowan leaves was hung over doors to repel evil, and wells dressed with rowan to keep witches away. The rowan, or mountain ash, is found commonly in Scotland, sometimes clinging to a rock face."

I wish I could accommodate you but it looks like I didn't save the pattern. After doing it in a couple colors I guess I must have decided I'd had enough. I did buy it from a needlework catalog company. Maybe you would be lucky and find it with google? Sorry! __________________ What we have once enjoyed we can never lose.
