Not only dragons. But still, a reptile

Made it this night.
Loosely based on a red-eared turtle. Very loosely

Actually timed how long it took - 7 hours.

Turtles are awesome. Especially alligator snapping turtles. Chomp.

----------------------
Beads: Miyuki 335 (Fuchsia Lined Yellow), Toho 83 (Metallic Iris Brown), 246 (Inside-Color Luster Black Diamond/Opaque Yellow Lined), 457 (Gold-Lustered Green Tea) and Matsuno 6-cuts (strange shiny greenish-gold-brown colour) for shell.
Toho 49 (black) - eyes and claws, 323 (Gold-Lustered Olivine) - legs, head and tail, 45 (Opaque Pepper Red) - 'ears'.

Do you have a pattern? I like this!

*Rrkra Jul 12, 2012

No pattern for this one

~LutheranChick May 10, 2012

How on earth did you do this!?! So amazing!

*Rrkra May 10, 2012

With a handful of beads and some paience

~LutheranChick May 10, 2012

Would you ever consider making instructions? ^_^

*Rrkra May 10, 2012

Eh, maybe, if I ever make another one

I could try to explain without photos, but my explanations don't make much sense, they are only good to give a general idea XD

~LutheranChick May 10, 2012

That sounds amazing, and although I won't pester you for it, I would like to ask where did you start from when you made the top part of the shell? That's what's making my brain hurt the most.

*Rrkra May 10, 2012

Top and bottom of the shell are flat circular peyote. Oval shape is because I only did increases on opposite sides.

I think you can see it if you download the full-sized image and look at the last photo - the start is four beads in the middle of the shell.
