Dragonflies are definitely one of the most adored bugs next to butterflies. Perhaps they are in a class all their own.If you decide to look for information about dragonflies, you will find millions of articles and photos to look through. That is one reason I decided to make my own dragonflies to appeal to those dragonfly lovers out there.
I propose to offer a large variety of these dragonflies. I started with one like the one above which has two dragonflies on copper wire flying over forest green glass gems. This structure is simple yet strong as it is soldered together.
I propose to use different size glass gems to make the look of scenery a little different in each item.
If I use dark green or even lighter green it could be grass. Blues would be water. Black could represent night. I will use iridescent colors when I can to make it look like the sun is shining on the scenery.
This pair of dragonflies were the first pair I made. I liked the simplicity of them. they are soaring free...doing their own thing.
Some of my metal art will be of a single dragonfly over three glass gems. Some will be a grouping of maybe three or four on a little more complicated setting. Dragonflies on planter rods will probably be next on my to do list.
Here is a single Dragonfly over iridescent green gems.
I hope you will take some time and check out my art whether it be the dragonflies or the spiders and spider webs.
I will be adding both periodically. I hope you will love them as I do.
Please leave a comment if you have some ideas I could incorporate into my art. I would love to hear from you.
