Dragonfly


This weeks theme was a bit of a challenge but after a rake in my workshop through the scraps beads and cutting that I managed to make this dragonfly and then a two layer tag to attach it to
 the image in the bottom tag is a northern Scottish wetland or peat bog as its known near Forsinard Nature Reserve, a habitat of the dragonfly
Tag:  bottom layer image from National Geographic magazine, top layer recycled greeting card
Dragonfly ~ handmade metal beads, crystal beads, wire organza and cotton layers machine stitched with metallic thread.
Tie: Silk waste yarn

  15. What a great idea to use a photo of a river bank behind your recycled greeting card. Beautiful dragonfly Yvonne. I thought paper beads (cause I sued those!) but I am intrigued to read they are metal! x
