It's finished and I think it's a stunner (click on the photo to see it better)! Of the three Sea Dragons I've made thus far (all inspired by the Sea Serpent in Kate McKinnon's wonderful book, Contemporary Geometric Beadwork), this one possesses the most texture with its seventy mini Horns jutting out from the ten Winged sections of the wrist wrap. I've titled it Loch Ness for two reasons, the first being that the colors remind me of a Black Watch plaid, although this pattern work runs on the diagonal. The second is for Nessie, the famed monster that has supposedly been sighted on several occasions since 1934 when a couple spotted Nessie while driving by the lake, which might have a Sea Dragon as well...who knows? I'm fine-tuning the pattern now and both the Loch Ness Sea Dragon III beading kit and tutorial will be available in my Etsy shop in a few days. I'll post here as soon as they are listed!
