My second beaded dragon, also made with 10/0 seed beads and black Beadalon thread...the tail was supposed to split into two but a bead broke and couldn't be repaired, hence the messiness...also, I tried to make up feathered wings, though apparently that didn't come out too well...the string across the tail is to help it stand, since the positioning of the wings puts its center of mass too far forward...

I like the way the wings curve, but the black thread stands out too much. Would white or clear thread have worked better? I've made two attempts at the feathered wings here: [link] [link] but I change the pattern every time. I'm impressed you tried it. I like the idea of the forked tail. I may try that on my next dragon.
I am utterly awed by your beadwork. I shall now watch you for inspiration.

I like how you photographed your dragon beside a coin. I should start doing that.
