Three Dragon Bracelets

These were the first three dragon bracelets that I ever made. They earned me the nickname dragon lady from a few of my customers. The green one with the gold belly was the first. I don't know why but I always feel like dragons should be green and gold. I definitely make them in other colors but when in doubt I will always default to green. It just feels right!
These are made using long magatama beads to imitate the look of scales down the back which is super neat. The pattern went viral (among the beading community anyway) on reddit a while back and it made me want to try it myself. I have since then made what feels like 20 of these little beasts. They make for really cool looking bracelets and honestly with the head and tail being the clasp they can be kind of low key dragon jewelry.
It is really difficult to get good pictures of these bracelets so if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them! I want to show off the face, and the back scales at the same time. But laying them on their sides mostly shows off the bellies. Wearing them on my wrist is really difficult to photograph one handed. I am a creator not a photographer but I get better every time!
