Dragon Portrait

14 count, stitched over 1 strands

Dragons may just be big fantasy lizards, but that doesn't mean that their colors need to be boring! A plum-pink dragon feels entirely believable. Vibrant colors in nature usually mean something, like how poisonous frogs show their hues to warn predators away; likewise, this dragon seems to be saying, "Careful, I'm feeling dangerously fabulous today!" This dragon pattern was originally a gift pattern to preorder customers of my first book, Fantasy Cross-Stitch. Colors & Stitching: Uses 17 DMC colors with no backstitching required.
