I finally decided on which dragon to work on next,
#5 Golden Rings. He is actually my favorite, I think he just looks so adorable curled up in his little ring asleep. I started working on him shortly after I finished #6 and figured I'd finish him up in the morning... yeah that didn't happen. Once I started working on him I just couldn't stop!
I decided to make a small change. The membrane of the wing was charted as 744, a yellow, but most of the other Dragon Dreams charts have the membranes as the lightest green. I kind of liked that better, so I changed the color to 369.
Then on with the rest of the colors:
I decided to go with 002HL #4 Kreinick braid for the two larger rings, and for the three rings that were marked for 3822 I decided to add the 002HL blending filament. I liked the contrast in color between the two, but I wanted all my rings to sparkle. Trust me, they sparkle, it's just hard to tell in the picture.
And, finally, the backstitching:
This one had a TON of backstitching. I think it had the most so far. At least it felt that way, but I was backstitching at one in the morning so maybe it's the same, but just felt like more.

I honestly didn't think I'd be working on these this much, I thought I'd do one, let it sit around and then maybe work on another one many months later. But I just can't seem to stop myself.
