Embroidered hoop picture - DRAGON felt wall art

A red dragon breathing fire, sitting on a bed of glowing coals - a hand-appliqued and embroidered felt hoop textile art picture that will delight any dragon lover. Perfect decor for a child's bedroom, but whimsical enough for grown-ups too. I have one facing left and one facing right - please choose the direction you want your dragon to face in the options. Based on my own hand drawn design, I hand cut the little dragon from pure wool felt in red, and hand stitch him to the orange-pink background fabric with blanket stitches all the way round the outline. Back stitches define his wing webbing, and chain stitches highlight his claws and horns. Finally, his flames are created by rows of chain stitch in glowing red, orange and yellow. I use a little bit of bamboo wadding to give a subtle quilted look. The finished textile art is then mounted in a wooden hoop, and completed at the back with a circle of wool felt carefully hand stiched all the way round in blanket stitch - so it is as neat as the front. A simple white ribbon loop allows the textile art to be easily hung on a wall, or you can prop your picture on a shelf. Please display out of reach of young children. Size - the hoop is 6 inches across, plus the hanging ribbon. Care - dust with a dry cloth or brush
