I'm posting this for Delena as it's currently hosted on my My space page for her. It is a tapestry made with beads in the free hand loom style or flat square stitch.
For contrast its been scanned in twice using both a black and then a white back ground to assist people in seeing the image created with the clear color beads.
The colors used are a red for the dragon with yellow highlights, the back ground was started in green and then faded to a pale yellow green transitioning into a root beer. The eye is blue.
The pattern she used was formerly some sort of embroidery tutorial found online that she then used beads to create. The original link for the pattern has been lost but If you interested simply message and one can be posted here as well for comparison.
Below is a pretty basic tutorial for Square stitch beading or off loom weaving available here if your interested In trying something like this yourself.
