Embroidered Collage

16"x20" embroidered and beaded fabric collage on gallery-wrapped canvas.  I wondered what would a dragon's skin look like.  Could a portion of it show the magnificence and wonder that I'd feel watching a dragon in flight?  I played with stitches to create a variety of scales, then combined them to form a skin.  "Dragon Scales" was juried into the 2005 Mixed Media Art Show held by the Montgomery County Organization of Professional Artists.  March 2006
