I'm starting on making one for your s-dragons but only have 11/0 beads to work with and had to add rows to the dragon body, I'm having a really hard time getting the head to work with your pattern layout and the added rows for it can you help? It might be the size bead I'm using for the dragon to wrap around that causing my issue.

Hm. It's kinda hard to say anything without seeing it. Try looking at the links/thumbnails in the description, there is a different head pattern, an alternative tutorial rrkra.deviantart.com/art/S-Draβ¦ and some tips for only using size 11s.Β
Or you can note me a photo of what you have so far

I've looked through the directions, but I can't seem to figure out what size 'large bead' you use. Is there one size you generally stick with, or does it vary from dragon to dragon?
Also, these are absolutely gorgeous, especially the Amethyst dragonsnake. The light 'scales' really make the eyes on her stand out.

Large/central bead varies from dragon to dragon. I usually take 1 to 1.5cm diameter beads for them, if that helps.
Glad you like

Another question for you, about how much thread do you use total?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't really measure it, but somewhere between 2 and 4 meters.

Thanks.
And what size are the 'Treasures'? I can't tell from the photos. I checked the other set of directions and can't find the sizes there either.

Treasures or Delica are Japanese cylinder beads. They fit between size 15 and size 11 if compared to round beads.Β
If you can't get them, check the workaround in the description, the dragon can be made with only one bead size too

Oh! I've never heard them called 'Treasures' before. So size 11 or 15 Delicas?
Thanks for answering all my questions btw.

It's two different companies, but the beads are pretty much the same. You want the more common size 11 Delicas for this.
No problem^^

I just came across this via Pinterest. I love it. I'm going to try beading one, but I have an idea to try doing the body with herringbone and adding 2 hole triangles for the spine. Thanks for finally getting me interested in beading once again!

O, that's an interesting idea
Good luck with it))

You can always ask me if something is unclear from these two tutorials, though ^^

You are so kind and unselfish sharing this... IΒ΄ve never made peyote but you make me want to try ^_^

It's nice to see people make their own dragons
Peyote is fun to do^^

Where can I actually see and download the s dragon tutorial?
π: 0 β©: 1
The download button is on the right, it's a PDF file.
It's strange that you don't see the tutorial itself, it should display on this page =O Might be something with your browser.

Thanks, it's a problem with my phone. I downloaded it to my laptop. π

I've been using your amazing tutorials to make dragon pets for a while now. I've adapted my own patterns for them from your own, and have started adding wings. If you're at all interested, you can see what I've done with your amazing tutorials and inspiration here: ayas-beads.deviantart.com/gallβ¦

Always good to see new creative uses/adaptations!
Wings sure add a lot to the dragons
π: 0 β©: 1
I love making them with wings. They look so awesome with them!

Yup, can't argue with that

What do you mean by peyote +1? I haven't worked peyote before and the tutorials I look up aren't overly helpful...
π: 0 β©: 1
Which part is that?Β
Probably means "add one more row".

Oh, right. Thank you

Where do you get your beads? I am having difficulty finding good ones online!
π: 0 β©: 1
I get mine at local stores, and sometimes on Etsy. Not any specific sellers, though...Β

Also what size are treasure beads?
π: 0 β©: 0
this is a new art that I would love to try.. I've never seen these before, and I'm in love, where can I find some easy beginner patterns. So excited to get started
π: 0 β©: 1
You can look here for basics bnb.jewelrymakingmagazines.com⦠ beadwork.about.com/od/beadings⦠or just google for seed bead beginner patterns, there are plenty of them
Treasure and Delica beads are somewhere between size 15 and size 11 beads.Β 2.bp.blogspot.com/_AA-JsPqTKToβ¦
Good luck^^

I posted your S-Dragon on a page, now I have to make one (aside from me wanting one 
Silly Q? (I asked earlier, then signed up realizing, I might hear of an answer that way)... is the dragon worked on two sides or made flat except for the head?Β
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial!

I just wanted to link to that

It is great!
Q... the size of the crystal bead, the large one?
I ordered some beads I was missing to try this
What size is the big crystal?
Thank you very much for your excellent tutorial
π: 0 β©: 1
The central big bead? Any size works, but 0.8cm diameter and bigger is easier to work with.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you... I think that is about 8mm.... I know I could have just made it fit but...Β
that makes it easier
π: 0 β©: 1
That's what I do - just make it fit XD
Good luck
