Update April 2016
I'm no longer creating the dragonflies and I'm completely sold out.
Thank you for all your past support and purchases!
Please visit my new online shop featuring my mosaic art.
I have lots of new dragonflies to show you and decided to
group them all in this post.
For this one I used house numbers and letters woven into
wire wings with glass beads
I used the same method I shared in this post to create the wire wings and add the beads.
I added a ceramic "open" knob at the tail...
and aged keys for the eyes.
I also made a couple with fun wire that has little
rusted stars on it.
This wire is not the easiest thing to work with but the end result is really cute!
I used pieces of the wire for the antenna too.
This tail piece is an aged handle from a bathroom sink knob.
Here's the other starry one I made...
It has a cute ceramic knob at the tail...
and miscellaneous metal pieces for the eyes and on the body.
For this one I combined a garden sign with the dragonfly...
He has a lamp harp for antenna...
And hand painted garden sign wings...
With a flower and leaves on the other side.
This one was a custom order for the owner of a cabin rental called
Dragonfly Dreams.
This is the logo I worked from...
I figured aged keys at the tail was fitting for a cabin rental...
Along with a vintage escutcheon on the body.
All the lettering is hand painted in a distressed finish.
And lastly, another wire wing with glass beads woven throughout.
You can see other beaded ones I've made by clicking the beaded category
I added little beads at the end of the antenna...
And a vintage glass knob at the tail.
sold out
Lots of glass beads, giving a nice lacy effect.
That's all for now, thanks so much for checking them out!
