CJC Day 14 - White Willow Tribal Dragon

I won a Bingo on the Cross Stitch Forum in 2013 and received a voucher that I used towards this chart. I've had it in my wish list for years and in my stash for about 6 months before I finally started it. I had some nice grey 28 count Lugana and I used some LNS stash of Caron Waterlilies and Soie Cristale to come up with a more colourful palette than the monochrome. I'm stitching over 1 and with my reading glasses it's not challenging at all, thankfully. 

This is the model:

And my variation will be a little different. I hope the light blue and dark blue contrast will give some dimensions to the wings. The body will be in a deep green and there may be some bling in there, which I'll leave as a surprise for now. 

This was my progress from 2014:

I'm really enjoying stitching this and I can't wait to get back to it. This is another one I hope to finish for my daughter. I hope she enjoys fantasy as much as we do. 

This is where I'm at as of tonight:

Happy Stitching,
