12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon – sneak peek.6 – filling the shield outlines

12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon - sneak peek.5

Today I have again some embroidery progress concerning my “12th century embroidery – Saint Michael and the Dragon” for you.
I already started filling the outlines of Michaels shield and also continued working at the tail of the dragon.

The effect of the purple and white for the shield is lovely and really “pops” and I am very happy about this color decision. I haven’t decided yet with which color I want to fill the small circles but I will definitely fill the main part of the shield with red. 🙂

…and finally, here the new progress picture for you – enjoy! 😀

As you also can see at the picture above, the dragons tail got another small part on top and I did split the tail at this point. I am planning to do something “special” here and to play around with the design – at least a little… 😉

…and again a close-up picture of my embroidery for my Advanced and Premium members:

I really can’t wait to see how the shield looks like with the red filling – I hope I can show you the effect tomorrow… 😀

Best regards Racaire
