This was my first attempt at design. The dragon has been stitched with a variegated orange thread to give him a mottled, scaly look. His wings also have an orange blending filament through them to make them shimmer. This was based on an artwork called Tattoo Dragon by Meg Baker: <a href="http://www.bluesatyrart.com/">http://www.bluesatyrart.com/</a>stardancerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01641220157017200603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166098445288780508.post-9575709085612416312012-03-21T22:49:00.000-07:002012-03-21T22:49:00.525-07:00Mad for Markers Birthday Blog hop<span style="color: #af5cfd; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Good afternoon!

<br />
My favourite crafts are cross stiching, beadpoint and stamping so expect to see lots of pictures of work in progress and finished projects.<br />
<br />
I am also a member of the Digi DT team for Mad for Markers so I am having heaps of fun with some digi stamps and getting lots of experience with my wonderful Copic markers. Check out the Mad for Markers website at <a href="http://www.madformarkers.com.au/">www.madformarkers.com.au</a>. There is a great range of beautiful stamps and prices and postage are about the best I've found anywhere!! Plus boss lady Sammi is great :)stardancerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01641220157017200603noreply@blogger.com2
