Description Similar to the keychain I made a while back, this dragon is an improvement on the original design, using more than a couple of different weaves.

Not only is it bigger, but its far more flexible as well. A hook is attached to the tail, allowing it to be worn, hung or placed in a variety of ways.

I made this so a friend of mine could wear it to the local Renaissance Festival with his outfit.

*EDIT*
Check out the red and orange one as well:

ChainedBeauty In reply to SinisterLlama [2015-05-09 22:05:51 +0000 UTC]

I sold this one a while ago, but I haven't done as many since then. Β I would be open to doing one as a commission, although I do have a lot of other things that I need to work on beforehand, so it might be a while.

I was doing these large ones for $100, but I also have smaller, bracelet version available in my shop as well, which are a bit cheaper:Β www.etsy.com/listing/76734859/…

When you say 75-80 rows of rings does that include the head and tail or is that just the body and then the head and tail are additional? This is gorgeous and thank you so much for the tutorial for a little one that can be lengthened to a longer one! I'm so doing one!

ChainedBeauty In reply to ThorinOakenshield2 [2014-12-22 06:16:47 +0000 UTC]

That's just the body. Β The head and tail are counted separately. Β

so about how many scales per dragon??

CheetoNichiro [2014-01-13 21:40:58 +0000 UTC]

The tail in this larger dragon is not the same tail as in the smaller ones. What is the weave you used here??

ChainedBeauty In reply to CheetoNichiro [2014-01-13 22:09:45 +0000 UTC]

That one is Full-Persian: www.mailleartisans.org/article…


I didn't use that weave for the bracelets because it would've made them more bulky, and I wanted something that would work as an adjustable strap.

Ah ok. I may play around with the tail, i wanna make one for me and my sister.

How long is this fellow? You specify the length of the bracelet dragons, but I'd be interested to know how many links long this one is. He's so gorgeous!

ChainedBeauty In reply to graysockgreyshoe [2013-04-30 23:44:06 +0000 UTC]

He was 2 feet, 4 inches long. I think it was around 75 or 80 rows of rings? Its been a while, I don't exactly remember.

How much would you charge for a chainmail dragon?

ChainedBeauty In reply to Fractaldragon [2013-03-06 06:36:01 +0000 UTC]

One like that would be about $70.

This one was a modified version of something I found over at M.A.I.L: [link] There's a lot of good resources on that site. Nowadays I go into a project with an idea, and just work through it.
