Dragon beads and silver heart pendant

I've not done much recently. Been snowed under at work and also not been too well. I'm waaaaaay behind with reading blog posts and forums. Will maybe catch up .....eventually.....
Did have a crafty day at a friends last Sun though and made a couple more Christi Friesen inspired dragon beads. Also made a simple heart pendant for the cooksongold forum challenge. Here're the results

Carmen

A while back Caroline posted a dragon on her blog. I was blown away and needed to make one myself. This was her second dragon using this free pattern by Marjorie Jones. Unfortunately I couldn't crochet then but now I can a bit so for thought I'd have a go as my Thursday night project on crafteroo. I'm usually too busy with school stuff to get involved but the snow days this week enabled me to take part for the first time.

Things were going great...but then...oh no...I ran out of yarn!! I couldn't finish her last night. Looking through my yarn stash this morning, I found some more but it wasn't quite the right shade. So I treated last nights efforts as practice and started again.

Let me present to you, Carmen. She was made with cheap double knit acrylic yarn and a 4mm crochet hook. Like Caroline, I added wings from the cthulhu from Christen Haden's Creepy Cute Crochet. I omitted the spikes as I liked her without them.
