I don’t get near enough time to ‘just bead’ as I would like. I love making these 3-dimensional Beaded Dragons,
but since I reduced the size of the beads from 6’s and 8’s to size 15 Delicas, and Japanese seed beads, they take up to 7 hours to complete one.
Not to mention,
I deviated from the original pattern, which used only one shape of bead – I incorporated 11 different shapes and sizes.
And if that was not enough self-torture, I modified the pattern on these beaded fish too, and incorporated a total of 17 different sizes and shapes of beads – 
These babies take upwards of 7 hours each to complete. Talk about a glutton for punishment… :)) The one on the left is modeled after my favorite pet Koi….
Thank you for visiting…

Thank you Melissa for liking the dragons, the Pink one in particular – I hadn't thought about selling them before, but….. Only problem is I'd have no idea what $ to sell them for….hmmmmm
Bobbi these are wonderful! Scrolling down with each picture I kept oooing and awwing…then I saw the koi! Absolutely beautiful work! Definitely think about selling them, they're gorgeous!
