12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.9

12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.8…and again some new progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon“. As you can see at the picture underneath, I made some nice progress during the weekend.

The feet of the dragon are now completely filled.  I also managed to get a part of the tail and of the outer border done. As expected, the feet really “pop out” in this outer border. I like this effect. 🙂

…and here a new progress picture for you – enjoy! 😀

Yes, the progress is slow but this 12th century embroidery project grows stitch by stitch. Every stitch is one stitch more towards the completion of the dragon an this fun project. 😀

Btw. a friend told me that she loves my dragon embroidery except that the dragon is being killed. Well, I see this detail a little bit different – for me it rather looks like the dragon is nibbling at the end of the spear… No one is killin’ this dragon – my dragon – I promise… 😉

Best regards Racaire
