Dragon Rock Almost Done
I am adding bullions in various sizes and copper shades around the rock itself. I am also tossing in a few blue bullions. Bullions in metallics are hard because the thread is stiff but I really like how they look, particularly in the Needle Necessities' Kreinik overdyed metallic. I am not using the overdyed Kreinik here, but I have used it many other places to wonderful effect.
