The first of the two dragons in the piece has a head!! Check out his head:
And which means now... he's a real dragon:
It's so exciting to see this piece really coming together and looking like something. Those who've been following on this long (years) journey of mine probably remember when it wasn't much more than blue or green blob (much like Soul Mates is now, lol).
While still only just over halfway complete I really feel like it's just stitching up so much faster. I think I've really improved my over one skills in the years since I started and am just more proficient at it than before.
I've got some bracelets made up in different fibres that I've been using (all Kumihimo) and I started another mill hill kit (mailbox with bird) but I keep forgetting to take pictures! Sorry I will see if I can remember later this week.
Thanks for visiting and all your lovely comment. I really appreciate them!

I remember those green blob days! It's looking just stunning now, I can't wait to see both dragons done!
I also remember the green and blue blob days! Which is why it's so awesome that your dragon finally has a head. You should be proud :)
Well done Mel. It's looking great.
Wow, this is looking so great! Keep up the wonderful stitching Mel, best wishes.
I remember when I used to say....where's the dragon??? Now that's no more! Congrats on your progress and for still being excited about a LWIP!!!
You are excited and you should be! Congratulations!!! The dragon looks fabulous!
SO beautiful Mel! You must feel very satisfied to have gotten this far :o)
I'm new to this group. I am enjoying all the xmas exchanges and blog updates.
Your dragon is beautiful!! I am guessing this is a HAED. I want to try one,but can't decide which one. They're all so great and a little scary. they look so detailed. Great job!!

A whole dragon,wow! Great job Mel! Milestones like these gives us the momentum to keep stitching. Huge congratulations!
Congratulations Mel! Your Dragon is looking marvelous! I can't believe how expressive his face is! He looks timeless and wise, exactly like I always think a dragon *should* look, LOL :)

congrats on finishing the head :) your piece comes more alive like this...
Can't wait to see it finished
It must be so satisfying to see a complete dragon I am sure the rest of the piece will go quicker.
Very impressive. I imagine you must feel rather like Michelangelo when he was half done with his Piatta (spelling?). LOL
wow you are going great guns on this - how nice to see your dragon's face now
