My half of a trade with  Silv It is one of my more elaborate oriental dragons. It was a lot of fun to work on, particularly the face. It is one of the very few I have done with the full facial frill. The center of the forehead is a dark pearl. Pearls seem to have become the standard forehead center piece on my oriental dragons, they work so very well.

The figure is wire core with a fabric skin. The claws, horns and tail are all silver colored plastic coated copper wire. All the other ornamentation are beads on wire.

This was a very hard beastie to photograph. It looks so much better in person. I will try to get better photos when the light is better.
