| Lord of Fire, Courtesy of Ann Madson |
How about a treat? I have something extra special for you to see today, courtesy of Ann Madson who spent the last few months stitching three of the Drama Dragon masks from Leigh Designs using stitch guides from Brenda Hart. They are MAGNIFICENT.

First, you need to see the entire unstitched series so you can truly appreciate Ann's work and Brenda's clever guides. Here they are on the LD website. Can you see the lovely bead accents on Lord of Fire and how each circle has a different pattern in red and gold?

Earth Warrior has a wonderful padded nose as well as fantastic gold scrollwork. I particularly like the way Ann used yellows, golds and oranges in each round circle's pattern. His tassels are particularly beautiful.

Ann says she just stitched the way Brenda told her to but I think this has been the perfect collaboration of designer, stitch guide writer and stitcher, don't you?
Happy Halloween!

Be still, my beating heart! These are gorgeous! I have Lord of Fire, which I have not started, but Ann's beautiful stitching makes me want to stitch the others. Absolutely amazing! Great work!

These are stunningly beautiful. Lucky Ann will probably frame them and display them together. I want to stitch one myself but I can't decide which one and of course there's no time!
