Green Wyrm Ornament

[syntheticat.livejournal.com]

My olympus d-380 just can't take the really close up pictures....=(


I made this little wyrm for a birthday present.
The wings are based loosely on half a leaf pattern I saw in a beadwork magazine. I used thread to give them flexability and threaded a wire through the main black line of beads on the top of each wing to give them support. They are quite possable. The body was all wire based bead work in rather large (size 6 I think they were) seed beads, with size 11 accents.
The mouth opens and closes.
I forgot to measure it before I wrapped it but it has about an 7" wing span and about 5" long.
