Artist's Comments

This was a gift I made for my friend Tim. He picked out the colours and on bus trips and between lecture I stitched it into reality, its taken... I guess at least 3 weeks of casual working and quite a few hours.

As I have said before, metalic thread is evil... but it is far too pretty for me to avoid working with it :D

Gave it to him today, he seemed to be quite pleased to get it so yay :)

I will give a hearty "here here!" about the evilness of metallic thread.

Very pretty bookmark. Was it from a pattern or freehand?

Thank you :D

The dragon is a pattern from a celtic cross stitch book, the pattern was not specifically for a bookmark but I turned it into one since its just about perfect in dimensions.

There is a phoenix in my gallery that I designed my own pattern for.

I'll have to look for that. I love taking patterns and tweaking them to my own needs. I don't think I have ever managed to finish a pattern kit so that it looks like the picture on the cover!

It's BEAUTIFUL!! And I agree about those metallic threads, but what can you do when you want something to pop? :D

Thanks so much and yeah, especially something like a dragon. :) dragons are meant to have shiny scales, it just wouldnt be the same without the metalic :D
