Japanese Dragons

There will be six dragons in all. I hope to have this set complete sometime next week. The dragons are part of the Geisha Series of design sets. I have researched a lot of Japanese dragon embroideries and the majority of designs seem to be done in 4 colors: Gold, Black, Red and white. The other predominate characteristic is that many of them have the stylized *water* motif with them. I am attempting to capture these elements in this set of designs. Of course, the dragons can be stitched in many color schemes. As I was creating them, I was picturing them in emerald greens or vibrant blues and turquoise.
