Graffiti Art Dragonfly Signage Inspired Table Leg and Spindle Recycled Dragonfly Art

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. 

 I had recent orders for my graffiti inspired 

dragonflies so I decided to make four extra to put in the Etsy store,

and a couple of those have already gone to their new homes.

This time, instead of painting individual wings, I decided to paint the entire board,

then cut out the wings.  I painted layers of color and random 

letters and numbers so that when cut out, parts of those

elements would be in the wings.

It worked out pretty well! 

I still added more layers of paint after cutting

 but the basic background was there.

Lot of different metal parts for the eyes and antenna...

I used a fork and old clip hook for these eyes.

My mom saved these clips for me for my dragonflies...

Thanks Mom!

I drilled a pilot hole and attached them with a screw...

I made 2 with blue bodies and 2 with black bodies

Blue body...

Wings...

Someone gave me free chairs they pulled out of an old storage shed.  

They saw junk and thought of me LOL!

After cutting them down, I was left with all these

wonderful parts that otherwise would have ended up in the landfill.

I also used some of these cool wooden finials on the bottoms

of the blue dragonflies

Lots of layers of paint...

Thanks for stopping by!
