Completed Cross Stitch - Joan Elliot's "Thank you" card

It is not too often that you come across a cross stitch thank you card but it is kind of nice when you do.  The Chinese symbol means, "Benevolence" and relates to the concept of Feng Shui.  This was a kit from Design Works.

Completed Cross Stitch - Dragon with wings and crystal ball

I own the world's smallest dragon and here he is in cross stitch.

I think this design is about 2" in width. I'm guessing though..

Found this one out of a magazine too.

Completed Cross Stitch - Just Nan's "Mermaid Heart"

 

Please click on the above picture for a close up.

 

This particular finish needed a couple of photos to show off the detail.  I did not dye this fabric, if memory serves me correctly, this is PTP Davinci. After buying it, I held on to it hoping that I will find a project that will suit it....and here it is.

The colours are bright enough to stand out on the darker fabric and although you can't see it in the picture, there are rhinestones around the inner square (this comes in the bead kit).

The easy part about working on this cross stitch is that since the pattern is mirrored you don't always have to look at the pattern, you can look at the work already stitched on one side and do the same thing on the other.
