Update as of Spring 2016, I'm no longer making the dragonflies.
I sincerely appreciate all the past orders, thank you!
Please visit my new online shop featuring my coastal and
nature themed mosaics.
Leaf Wing Dragonfly
That's quite a range in that post title but I thought I'd group all my
latest dragonflies in this one post!
For this one, I cut leaf shaped wings out of wood
and added paint and a lady bug
He has rusty eyes and curly antenna
Went a little funky with this one and gave it a Mardi Gras theme
Clock hands antenna...
I added this ceramic piece at the tail...can you tell what it is?...
It's a purse shaped cork stopper turned upside down.
Hand painted Mardi Gras mask design on the wings.
I'm always making zebra and leopard dragonflies and butterflies so
I had to add a giraffe print in the mix too
More rusty eyes and antenna. I added those little brass
rivets to the body by predrilling small holes and pounding them in
Distressed giraffe wings.
Then I made another leaf shaped wing dragonfly but...
He's reversible...Green leaves on one side and fall colored
orange leaves on the other.
You can remove the screws, flip the wings and you are done!
Next are a couple of scrolled wing dragonflies...this
one in a golden yellow with a loooong spindle body...
He has keys for eyes
I cut the scroll design out with the Rotozip spiral saw.
This scroll wing was a custom order...
Distressed wings...
Starry eyes.
Do you remember this butterfly?
A customer purchased it and then ordered 2 coordinating
dragonflies to go along with it.
She chose this slat wing dragonfly,
The wings are made with wood shims painted in different colors...
Then I made this one with a block painted finish and escutcheon eyes
Here are two of them together.
And lastly, this painted guy...
Rusty metal accents on the body
And block painted wings.
Thanks for reading about my latest dragonflies
I still have items and reduced original paintings in my Etsy shop as well.
All I can say is WOW! OK, and I love these!
