Pipe Cleaner Work - Brocade Ascending Dragon

An original work. ＾＾ This is an ascending dragon with a brocade pattern made with pipe cleaners.
There is a folklore that says that koi who succeed in swimming up the Ryumon (a portion of China’s Yellow River that has extremely strong currents) will turn into dragons.
I made this while thinking “I wonder if colored koi will turn into dragons with a brocade pattern?!” （＾◇＾）
