Baby Dragon's Tail

Description

I wanted to get a shot of his tail…from the front without being used as a closure.

The body is Peyote stitch.

The fringe is both Looped and Stick style.

The strap is Russian Spiral and was inspired by ~vampi's beautiful piece [link] This was my first attempt at this particular stitch and I have to say I found it to be a b**** to learn off of internet instructions.

The tail of the dragon was extended using flat Peyote stitch. This was also a new style for me as I have never built off my main body before. I am not exactly happy with it, but I did it without a pattern and it was my first shot, so I am attempting to not be too critical.

The tail wraps around to create a closure. The strap holding the tail down was done in Brick stitch and then attached to the main body.

Materials included fairly inexpensive seed beads and nymo thread. If I would have know ahead of time how much time I was going to spend on this I would have used a higher quality of bead.

I am still working on getting better quality photos of my beadwork. So please do not critique that part of the piece unless you have advise on how to improve.
