Two of the dragons so far have been bracelets, and I decided this next one should be a necklace.

Check out this post on Errol, dragon #1, for the details on why I am making a dragon every week in 2015.

I had a little fun the other day playing with leftover bits of polymer clay cane and the Sculpey Hollow Bead Maker.  The largest lentil bead is 1 3/4-inch in diameter and the smallest is 3/4-inch in diameter.

My favorite bead was this blue, green and pearl one from some leftover mokume gane. The little dragon looks happy hanging out there, doesn’t he? Swelligant metal paints and patinas give him the look of an old cast sculpture.

The silver wire Beehive and Ball of Yarn links are from Cindy Wimmer’s The Missing Link.

I was so happy to find that two of my old lampwork beads went nicely with this project, the green & white cylinder and the failed green & blue hollow bead. 🙂

I’m really pleased with how it all came together and think this necklace will get a lot of wear!

If you’d like to see my other dragon creations so far, I’ve made a Thursday’s Dragon Pinterest board just for them.
