Light of the Moon

Aaahhh, all those swirlies are so delightful, yes indeed. Gives it an elegant sense of motion and life, and the little loops make me think of fish scales, which I think is very fitting given the stories about how koi fish can aspire to become dragons if they can manage to make it up and over a certain waterfall.

The very tip of the tail looks a tad unbalanced. Were it me I would have tried to put the same number of curls on both sides, but perhaps there is some symbology in the asymmetry that I'm missing.

I think a darker background would work better for showcasing this piece. The pale silver of the wire doesn't stand out that much from this lighter colour, though I do like how you've positioned it to line up with the curls of the backdrop pattern. The translucent crescent does present some challenges there, however, since that pale violet would be harder to see against, e.g. a black background, or have its hue distorted by a colourful one. Trying to find something that doesn't emphasize one part over the others is a problem I encounter now and then with photographing some of my own crafts that contain both light and dark elements (and translucent ones, and shiny ones, and sometimes glow-in-the-dark ones too because at that point why the hell not?). I think that might be why I like making collages of multiple photos: I can feature each part in a way that shows it off in the best light. That's an option you could consider for your pieces.

The moonstone "pearl" in the mouth too is a nice shout-out to dragon mythology, and how the treasure guardian dragons carried pearls that they could use to multiply the riches of the earth. And that's kind of what you do, isn't it? Take all these disparate shiny bits and bobs and turn them into something more.
