The first thing I thought of when dragons were requested was the portfolio by Ulrike Lohr, but none of the designs would lend themselves to a garter. Those which are edgings are quite wide, while the rest are mats or motifs which are too large to adapt to an edging.
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 would like to work a dragon, so perhaps you could find something else to embellish with lace. Although the idea of a dragon on the ring pillow does sound a bit - unusual? ; ) Clay -------------- Original message -------------- From: Tamara P Duvall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > On Feb 18, 2007, at 17:36, Ellen Winnie wrote: > > > I was playing with placing one of the snakes from Christine > > Springett's "Snakes Galore" into a ground and adding legs, but it > > looks too much like a salamander! > > > > Does anyone have a dragon pattern? > > There's a whole book of dragons, edited by Ulrike Löhr, and called > Hausdrachen.
