Canada Beading Supply bead challenge

I belong to a group called Out of the Box in Ottawa.  We were given a challenge to create something using 75% of the materials given us from the Canada beading Supply


I chose turquoise and yellow silk along with turquoise and aqua beads

 I started by painting a piece of polyester cloth with aquarelle pencil crayons and after staring at the cloth for a long long time I found a dragon.  Much to my dismay, as I was embroidering his scales and ruff, I realised that the crappy piece of fabric wasn't going to cut it in the finished product.
So I cut out the dragon...it wasn't pretty...all those tips and toe nails!!! 

I have a wonderful scarf that I cut up to become the background for my dragon.  I will NEVER make the mistake of starting something on a less then appropriate piece of cloth!

Slowly but surely, my old website   www.fibreartbywendo.com is going to be redirected to my blog.  I've added a flirt page and a needle felting page (sorry about the waywardness of the kit images...I can't seem to cut and paste them in a nice neat order!)
Soon I'll have transfered all my webpages over and then I can actually begin updating!
Thanks for your patience!

I'm back after all this time.....

Hey there!  Past time I came back!  I'm trying to redirect my website to my blog and thus actually keep it up to date....please bear with me as I'm new at this and it's frustrating to even figure out which password and username I had
