Color of the Day - Beige

Getting more tree branch done with a shot of beige.

 

Building a Wing

I'm slowly building the dragon's wing. It's gotten to the point where most spines are done and it needs to be filled in. I've also gotten to the farthest right stitch of the design.

 

Drawing Some Rectangles

Drawing rectangles on the left and right to make them hold some Rhodes stitches when the time comes. The left arch is also more complete. Time to work on the middle and right arches.

 

More Tail

Working on more tail. This is the centerpiece of the whole design.

 

Working on the Spines

The wing spines are coming along, and I fill in the membrane as I go. I hope to get this third page done soon.

 

Making Argyle

Working on getting the middle filled in for a bit. Then on to the right side windows for specialty stitches. Going to get this part done soon.

 

So Much Backstitching

This piece has so much backstitching on it, just on the outer layers. Those gates take so much time.

 

One Wingtip

I've just about got the top spine of the wing done, and you can see the outline of the rest.

 

Fencing In

Well there's still a lot of backstitching to do. The fences and the blackwork corners are a lot of work.

 

Working to Get Some Wings

Working along to get some wings made. I've just about gotten to the total width of the piece.

 

Brown Bands

Working on the brown argyle bands for the top part. They're a lot of stitching, so you'll see me working on them for a while.

 

Insides Stitched

All the major backstitching and special stitches are done. It's time to start the beading.

 

Working on the Wing

I have pretty much the width of the piece made, but I need to fill in the wing before I can move on to the next set of pages.

 

Now to the Argyle

This brown pattern reminds me of argyle, with the diamonds. I think it's actually tile. But it's coming along a bit. 

 

Backstitching Along

All the big elements are in place; now it's time to backstitch around them.

 

Over to the Peahen

The peahen is finally getting some attention. Lots of dull colors on her, but she's beautiful in her own way.

 

All Fenced Up

Yay, all the fences are done. Time to get some beading on.

 

Over to the Hen

Done with all the colors and working on the peahen for a bit now. Means there's a lot of progress, though.

 

Far on the Right

Those stitches far on the right represent the right edge of the design. I'm inching slowly closer. Of course, there are whole pages below this too.

 

Building Fences

With all the cross stitch done, it's time to do a god awful amount of back stitch. Working on getting all the fences done.
