S Dragon Tutorial

S-dragon guide.

Notes:

Translated to russian here: S Dragon перевод на русский.

- Over 4 rows of similar -sized beads(or, if using one bead size - over 4 rows without increasing the amount of beads in the row) is a bad idea. It will make the dragon look straight instead of an S shape. (Mostly noticeable at the tail.)

- 4mm Swarovski crystals do nicely for the eyes.

-To make a spiral dragon instead of an S-dragon - just make the tail longer. The more different bead sizes are, the more obvious the spiral will be. (Every row a bigger bead size - will make a very good spiral.)

-Watch out for sharp edges on beads, so they dont cut thread.

-This here: www.liveinternet.ru/users/nata… is a useful tutorial. In russian, but photos make the principle pretty clear.
