Re: Year of the Dragon - About Dragons
I guess I should show you my dragons bracelet. I finished this last year, but am still not satisfied with my photo attempts, so had not posted it. It's a mix of modern stylized dragons with old Asian style dragons.
This is an Amore & Baci triple-strand leather bracelet in bronze with a magnetic clasp (one end screws off to slide beads on). The basket weave stopper clips at either end are also from Amore & Baci. The beads, from left to right: Biagi crouched coiling dragon, Lovelinks dragon, A&B Dragon Dance, TB Lucky Dragon, A&B wrapped Dragon, A&B Baby Dragon, A&B Chinese Dragon. (That last little 'leaf' of metal is the A&B name tag on the bracelet.)

Wow, LindaJo! That is a fantastic array of dragons. And thanks for the dragon bead round-up, Sita. The Zable dragon looks East Asian.

Re: Year of the Dragon - About Dragons
The Zable dragon looks good, I've had one on my ebay watch list for eons. But I'm afraid it's another 2.5D bead, not fully three-dimensional. Like a dragon shaped box with details only on two sides, not around the perimeter. See this ebayer's picture:

I've learned that many of Zable's beads are this way. Obviously, it doesn't bother everybody. But I don't like flat box charms like that.
