I used as many different materials I could from my stash.. I especially like the Krienik gold bands of satin stitch on his neck... One tip I forgot to mention last time is to use clusters of beads to hide a difficult transition... I did that here with the finial on his tail... And folding a braid in half along his spine worked well also.. I took him along to work on several times this week and he always got lots of attention....

I'm loving the layering of fabrics and cutting away so will do that on the bottle. This has been a new technique for me. It's a nice alternative to working off block and appliqueing a feature on. I'll add more detailed photos as I do the layering this time.
I'm doing the bottle and flower cluster larger that I usually would but I want things to be large enough to try many things... The "A" initial may or may not remain... I can hardly wait to start with the gold ribbons as I have used very few so far in this goldwork challenge...
I'm ready to go back to regular crazy quilting but I know all this experimenting with gold materials will definitely make a change in my work.......

Your dragon has turned out fantastic Gerry. Really interesting seeing how you have used the various threads. He is very textural.
Oh Gerry, he is stunning! You did such an amazing job on him! You should be very proud of your accomplishment on this block motif!
I can hardly wait to see the block for Arlene progress from this wonderful drawing. Her blocks are so pretty, and you nailed it with this design.
Magnificant creature! I enjoyed watching him come to life
I am so lucky I get to see this fellow up close, he looks fantastic, and so does your plan for my block. I do hope the initial get's a place, I don't have very many in my blocks,so looking forward to them.
Arlene
Nobody's going to mess with Sir Dragon. Most fearsome. Your imagination blows me away. And the perfume bottle sketch has me drooling already. You are awesome!

He's just so amazing Gerry and must have been an absolute JOY to stitch. Love the fire coming out of his mouth!! And the gold leaves on the tail too!!
