Bring ornamental drama to your stitching with this elegant pair of Chinese dragons, worked in vivid reds, pinks and yellows with gold, orange, black and white accents. The two serpentine bodies curl around a flaming pearl, with scales, claws, horns and whiskers picked out clearly so the design reads well even at a glance. It suits makers creating bold pieces for women’s garments, Asian-inspired décor, or spiritually themed projects that need a more ceremonial look.
With 7 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, this design has a rich, filled-in finish rather than a light outline effect. It looks especially strong on satin bomber jackets, velvet cushions, structured robe backs, wall hangings or sturdy cotton panels where the detail can really hold its shape. The larger versions will give the dragons room to show off their coiling bodies and flame-like accents, while the smaller sizes still keep the central orb and mirrored movement as the main visual draw.
