Title: Cross Stitch and anything else. Post by: BenPass on October 20, 2012, 03:34:10 AM So, I remember a while back we had a discussion about various kinds of needlework and I mentioned that I made some elemental dragons through cross stitching. Anyway, I got thinking about it tonight and decided to google for them and see if I could find anything. Anyway, I found this pic of the Fire Dragon:
(http://www.measi.net/stitching/images/firedrag072805.jpg) I also found the website that has the whole list and patterns of the 5 elemental dragons. They are Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Spirit. I'm not into the whole elemental belief system, but they're pretty cool looking. I'm seriously considering trying to find my mom's old cross stitch stuff...if she still has it. I would have no idea where to get started in buying things like material, needles and thread though. Any ideas? Anyway, this thread can be for any sort of needlework that anyone is working on, or patterns that you want to share. I always did enjoy cross stitching and found it quite relaxing. Anyone else, or am I now alone in this? ;) Title: Re: Cross Stitch and anything else.

It's framed and in a box somewhere. I think you might enjoy it. Even if you didn't, it's something creative and relaxing for me to do. I never actually read Inheritance Cycle...or watched it...or whatever medium it was on/in. Title: Re: Cross Stitch and anything else.

Even if you didn't, it's something creative and relaxing for me to do. I never actually read Inheritance Cycle...or watched it...or whatever medium it was on/in. I wish I could see it :( Also, Inheritance is a set of four books. The first book is Eragon :) Don't watch the movie and don't play the video game though. I am warning you! You should read the books though :D I love them, but you might find them a bit tedious. Anyway, I would like to take up stitching. I tried it before and liked it.

Title: Re: Cross Stitch and anything else. Post by: TheHobbitofDune on October 20, 2012, 05:09:59 PM The plot is easy, just Star Wars with dragons ::) Why must everyone say that *facepalm* It starts out like SW, but by the second book it starts becoming it's own story. By the third book, it was it's own story. the Inheritance Cycle is awesome. In any case, Star Wars was based off of an old TV show (can't remember the name, and Google isn't helping), and it took the opening credit sequences directly from that show. It also took plot ideas from plays and books such as King Arthur. Title: Re: Cross Stitch and anything else.
