One of my projects is to finish this dragon for Mati´s 15th birthday next February.It seems very doable, taking into account the few white spots left.
Now add that I have been working on this since 1996 and you are allowed to doubt my goal. :D
Yes, you read right. I started the dragon for him when he was born.
It is quite a complex design, with many colours made out of two strands of two different colours, Each cross stitch thread has six strands. I must take one of those and mix it with another strand from another colour. The blending is cool.

What a lot of work! It's looking beautiful!
Paula, it is coming along beautifully - I'm sure you'll achieve your goal.
Toni :o)
What! That is awesome, seriously amazing piece of art! You got a few days left, I'm sure you can finish :)
That is amazing! Your blending is really beautiful and skillfull.
Needlepoint and beadworking is bad enough. I would totally be blind after this. I tried cross stich once. Once. And it was on afghan stitch with yarn not itty bitty embroidery thread. You ROCK!
love this dragon Paula .. looking good
That is beautiful! I have several needlepoints I've started. I've never finished one in my life. :D
Your's is truly a work of art.
Wonderful dragon! It is very freeing when you finish projects that have been sitting around for a while.
beautiful work!
Oh wow that DOES look like a complex piece but the final product is just stunning.
My granny used to cross-stitch and she has made most awesome ones. I have 3 of her works hanging in my house.
Unfortunately I lack the patience to cross-stitch myself, when I see lovely pieces like this one I sorta itch to do try it out (a simple small piece;)) myself again some time.
