Here is what I have so far.
The first layer of gray is about the same color as the fabric,
The second color of gray around the dragon is lighter.
I will use a darker gray to give the frame more depth, in the knot holes and add to the shading perspective.

One more step forward with the dragon.
I had a hard time moving the whole thing around
AND thru the opening of the machine.
That's quite alot of material to shove into that small opening, and still hold it down to sew.
A few more pictures for all of my adoring fans to enjoy...
