Introducing my first dragon, Zinfandel.:
He is the 22nd motif of my 2nd 25-Motif Challenge, in size 20 Lizbeth Vineyard Harvest. (Or she? No, must be a he with all the obedience training he needed.) In any case, I missed Wine Wednesday, so "Thankfully Thursday" rolled in :)
It seems as though once I accomplish a pattern, it all becomes so clear. All I need to do is pay very close attention to the pattern, and do exactly as it says. (Duh.) Somehow I always end up trying to turn, reverse work, switch shuttles, etc. when I don't really have to. (Who is it that needs the obedience training?)
Finishing this dragon feels like an accomplishment - and gives me more confidence to keep trying new patterns. But the perfectionist in me wants to make another dragon so I can do it right the first time!
He is GLORIOUS!!! Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHe's WONDERFUL, Cindy!

What a stunning Dragon!
ReplyDeleteHe's great! I haven't tried that pattern yet, was it hard?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you tamed him... he's fabulous! I know what you mean about a pattern seeming so clear once it's finished. I have an awful lot of "Duh!" moments. It all seems so simple after the fact.
ReplyDeleteWhat color will your next one be? ; )
He certainly looks absolutely PERFECT to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely fellow, tatted beautifully in gorgeous thread. Nice work! I have yet to tackle this pattern!
make me want to tat it right now!
Fox : )
Congratulations! He looks fabulous! Dragon taming is addictive, they just look soooo cool:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteOnce I tatted this dragon, it seemed easy. But months later, when I tatted it again, I had to carefully pay attention again...after making a few boo-boo's and retrotatting or "redesigning". It's just one of those that you really have to pay attention to.
handsome is as handsome does, and he is very handsome
