Rather than trying to put dragons around the whole garter, couldn't you make
a very small dragon motif and stitch it on to the centre of the width of the
garter in the same way as some people sew a small ribbon rose with bow.

Could you use the head of the dragon only along the outside edge in the same
way as my bells do, it wont show as well as on a flat piece of lace.

I agree that something as complex as a dragon would get lost in the
gathering of a garter. But clearly there is a reason you

Though I think I'd go with an oriental dragon, not a representation of Smaug!
This might bring us back to Hausdrachen again--the motifs and mats that

Calella is a location 50 Km. from Barcelona on Costa Brava coast. It is

In the following recipe, I am learning that the meaning of the word clove is
not clear. Does it refer to cloves, or to cloves of garlic?
The recipe is that for Spanish-rice Skillet, on p 174 of the current
loose-leaf edition of the 1953 Better Homes and GArdens New Cook Book.
Recipe calls for
Personally I would say it is a clove, if you cook it with rice and then
remove it you get a lovely nutty tasting rice. The same with a bay leaf
and/or whole onion - just make sure you remove it before serving the rice.

I googled spanish rice clove and got a whole list of

I would say to use the garlic in the recipe in
