Great Wyrm Needle Book WIP8-9

This is the last WIP update on the needle book.  As of the writing of this post it is actually finished, and I hope to get the final photos up in the next couple days.

Each side of the needle book is embroidered with a great wyrm, the first in green and outlined in burgundy, and the second in burgundy outlined in green.  Each wyrm is 3″x3″.  They are made entirely in stem stitch using DMC cotton floss, on linen.  The lucet ties and tassels are made with cotton crochet yarn.  The fishbone stitch edging is made with two colors of linen thread.  It is assembled with hand stitching.
