More dragons!

I won't lie, dragons take a lot of my time lately :) Each one comes out differently, even though I'm using the same tutorial... to be found here. Today I have three to show :)

First - baby dragon that caught my friend's attention. Really small.

It's less than 5cm long and I wrapped it on round bead, 10mm in diameter, made of crocodile jasper. Pendant clasp and ring made of sterling silver. I used:
Toho Round 11/0 and 15/0 in colours: Metallic Moss, PF Galvanised Aluminium, SL Frosted Olivine, IC Luster Black Diamond/O. Yellow lined (eyes);
and Preciosa Rocaille in colour looking like Metallic Moss. Size about 8/0.


Ice frozen dragon:

More than 7 cm in length, wrapped on white opal, 16 mm in diameter. Toho beads in sizes: 15/0, 11/0 i 8/0 and colours: Transparent Frosted Crystal, T. Crystal, SL Aquamarine, SL Frosted Aquamarine. Dagger Beads 5x8 mm, in Crystal colour. Eyes made with random glass beads. Pendant clasp and ring made of sterling silver.
Can be found on my Etsy.

Last but not least - unfinished red dragon:

Unfinished, because I have trouble with finding pendant clasp made with gold-plated silver... ;)
Toho Round seed beads in sizes: 15/0, 11/0, 8/0 and colours: PF Galvanised Starlight, SL Siam Ruby, T. Frosted Ruby. Round bead made with mountain jade, 16 mm in diameter. The dragon is about 7 cm long.
It will be available for sale once I get that pendant clasp :)

Some random creations

Beside creating things that come straight out of my head, I sometimes do things to order of my family and friends. Lately they're mostly earrings:

 Tiger's eye cabochon wrapped in Toho 11/0 and 15/0 in Transparent Olivine and Silver Lined Topaz colours. Silver pins.
Still awaiting the meeting with future owner :)

Red jaspers wrapped in Toho 11/0 and 15/0 in Opaque Jet and O Cherry colours. Spikes also silver.

Yellow howlite cabochon, wrapped in Toho 11/0 Opaque Frosted Dandelion and 15/0 T Green Grass. I was thinking Aztec, but my friend renamed them "turtles" :)

And a bracelet in my favourite O Frosted TerraCotta:

Ordinary seed beads in steel colour and silver-coloured metal elements.

Violet Jasper pendant

I decided to try my skills in a creative challenge of "Kreatywny Kufer":

Another bead wrap (wrapping works very well for me lately...), this time a beautiful stone I found in Koralianki's shop in Poznań. I am guessing it's a violet jasper, but I honestly admit, I don't remember.... I need to refresh and broad my knowledge of minerals.

I hunted it, because I was missing something violet that I could keep for myself and wear for work. Self-advertisement, You know.

And here's the "back" and "front" comparison (personally I cannot decide which side looks better).

...as always, one side came out more loose and the other too tight :P

Toho Round beads, in sizes 11/0 i 15/0, in Permanent Finish Galvanised Aluminium and Inside Colour Rainbow Rosaline/Opaque Purple colours. Silver coloured metal.
