Dragon Inlay
One of my first inlays. So, yeah, from maybe my second year of
mailling, long before I learned how to use a dense ring size for inlays.
It's not my design, mind you, although I wish I could have been that good at the time. The pattern was found here. My finished piece is slightly different from the pattern because I ran out of rings or room or something; anyway my dragon only has one wing. Probably makes it look even dumber than it already does with the ridiculous ring size. At the time, though, I thought this inlay was just about the coolest thing since refrigerators.
