The EGV annual members' exhibition is coming up. The theme is Magical. I have always had a fascination with dragons, so I am trying to come up with a piece that I think is ok.
So far, I have done one that is using a piece of silk that I painted many years ago, possibly in the 1980s! I'm not certain that it was that long ago but it definitely was a while ago. I haven't done anything spectacular with it, just put some hand sewing on it and mounted it.

My next idea is also dragon based. I have done a free motion embroidery dragon, with two smaller ones to put on - perhaps.
But I can't find a background that I like!! It is stopping me in my tracks.
I made a small quilt based on Ricky Timms' convergence quilt ideas but I think the dragon fades into the background too much.
I decided that I needed a rock for the dragon to be sitting on but now I think it is too dark and takes the focus away from the dragon.
I may just put it away and let myself try something different or I may get out lots of differennt pieces of fabric that I have collected over the years and see if I can be inspired.
Hopefully, I'll find something that speaks to me. If not, I will have to move on, which I am finding hard to do at the moment.
