*blushes* Thank you :) I was on a bit of a kick this summer, though I'm rather disappointed in the photos of the pieces. They're all blurry and you can't really see the stitching proper. Alas!

Those are amazing!!!! I LOVE the wizard one. This reminds me that I really should try and finish this huge dolphin one I've been working on for the past 5 years!

Thanks! I really like it, too, except for the fact that it's worked on 18-ct aida. Ack! It also uses a lot of metallic thread (the clouds are regular stitches, but the gold bits in outline are all tacking o_0), so that was a real pain!

I actually just finished my own BAP of similar length this summer (it was wolves). I honestly don't know how people can finish large projects in less than five-ten years :)

I am completely jealous of your Dragon Warrior towels! How did you attach the cross stitching material to the towel so seamlessly?

[sherarara]

They're actually special towels that have a row of aida cloth at the bottom; you can get them at basically any craft store. The only trouble is that you end up with a very set height to work in - and then you MagiDrakee's don't cast shadows :(
