Story: Inspired by a trip to China, Jesse plays on the Yin Yang using the classic Chinese dragon along with an older Medieval Western dragon. Keeping the colors simple he approached the design with different stitch types, textures and angles. Extra underlay was used to create more loft for the scales and different fill patterns for the rest of the dragons. A combination of manual spit stitches to create even more detail in the Western dragon. For the appliqués, a print with of the landscape was decorated with different fill types with split stitches to delineate the bricks. The trees and grass were made with random manual stitches to give them a more rough and organic look.
