Anne Bruvold's Chinese Dragon

In all, I tatted 3 Chinese dragons from Anne's pattern which can be found here.


Dragon #1 was posted a few days ago and was tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 #147 Red Burst and I used a Swarovski crystal for the sun.
 

Dragon #2 was used as a Chinese New Year e-card sent to family and friends. This one was tatted in Altin Basak Size 50 - #2328 (red with gold strand) and #2347 (gold with gold strand) for the sun.


Dragon #3 was tatted using Lizbeth Size 20 #611 Gold and Flora Size 20 #244 Charcoal for a black pearl.

They all seem slightly different with its own personality.

    Wow! Love these dragons, just in time for the Dragon year :) May I know how many balls of thread needed to tat one dragon ? Would like to 'test' my patience tatting one of them :)

    Hi Jeanie, Good question!! It's about 15m per shuttle for Lizbeth 40. Shuttle 2 needs slightly less but no harm winding 15m on each shuttle. Hope you have fun.
