The gold hunting dog

One advantage in being immobilised for several weeks with a back problem is that you can get a lot of drawing done - I counted up everything I’d done and there were 28 finished sketches.  A lot of them were drawings in the Celtic manner. I’ve always loved Celtic art and have tried for a long time to master the style. I’m still not all that good but I’m beginning to get the feel of it, and worked out several ideas which I’ve since digitised and stitched out

Celtic hunting dog

 

Here’s the first one – a running dog in a “pure” Celtic style. I’ve stitched it out with my current favourite applique fabric – Fairy Frost Glitz (from Michael Miller) in a muted blotchy gold. The subtle gold glint goes well with the subject. I thought for a while about perhaps stitching the scrolls with a metallic thread, but in the end decided that it would be a bit over the top and perhaps distract from the basic shape of the dog

I like your effort very much and i think you have done a very good job but i think you should pay attention towards the sketch of image no doubt color combinations and the stitches are dam good
