What a cutie, and despite being so small, he/she's got quite a lot of detail! Well done!

Dragons and cross stich are an awesome combination. I love cross stitch. I would do it if I could automate the process, but it seems this particular art form will continue to consist in manually sewing "pixel by pixel". The final results are among the most beautiful things made by humans, but the manual process involved is too long for me.
I might try to do a really tiny project one day, just to try. These things really look wonderful.

thanks! That's a wonderful comment! It always helps me to NOT THINK ABOUT how long it actually takes to finish something and rather just enjoy the process. But you're right that it takes way more time than it looks. It is always good to see someone who appreciates the sheer amounts of time that go into a cross stitch 
There is so much more cross stitch, and other sewing related stuff, I want to do or have planned, but alas time... I just keep working on all my projects diligently and enjoy the surprise when something is actually finished
btw I would say this dragon took about 3-4 hours. Not sure if it would take an experienced sewer working full speed on it actually that long, but for novices, I'd say that's a fair guess.

Thanks!
My girlfriend does cross-stitch, and I occasionally do craft projects that involve sewing, such as drawstring bags, zipper bags, or a small pillowslip, tablecloth or handkerchief (the simplest type of sewing projects). So, I know first hand how much work goes into them.
It is easy to disregard the complexity of something one hasn't experienced or understand. There are plenty of people who think math, literature, foreign languages, cross-stitch, playing the guitar, ballet or whatever are "useless and a waste of time". What they mean is "I can't do that".

ha I love your take on that and am going to adapt it!
It is true that one gets most appreciation from people who either do the same craft or know it. in the quilting world I believe selling quilts for a decent price is by far easiest to people who know quilting or do it themselves. it is another craft of which it is hard to see how much work goes in it without any know-how.
