Apocolyptic dragon all sewn up

Well I've finished sewing my dragon and he looks mighty fine. I had to unpick his red tongue and replace it with a silver one as it looked quite disgustng. I shall have to apply my mind to framing it now, which is probably more difficult. I shall see if I can take a photo and then you will all be able to admire it and post me some flattering comments.

My next work will involve blackbirds, apple blossom, silver, pink and duck egg blue. It will be on a much larger scale and will include some machine embroidery as well as applique and hand embroidery. It will be in homage to Eirian Short, whose work I saw recently.
