Dragon Sculpture Plastic Canvas Pattern

January 3, 2023 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

Stitch a Plastic canvas dragon made using 7-mesh plastic canvas and worsted-weight yarn.
Designed by Mary Krepel.

Draconic animals initially emerge in ancient Near Eastern myths and are depicted in Mesopotamian art and literature. Almost all Indo-European and Near Eastern myths have stories about storm gods fighting gigantic serpents.

Plastic canvas is a style of needlework in which images or patterns are created using plastic mesh and threads or yarn. Many people are astonished to hear that plastic canvas has been available for decades, with the original iteration being introduced in the 1950s. The comeback of plastic canvas occurred due to its low cost, compact size, and ease of usage.
