Small Panel Dragonfly River


Here is the panel of Dragonfly River. Very small, 12 x 10 The river rock is small beach glass and nuggets with decorative soldering making the river "flow". A dragonfly is done within the panel in irridized cathedral blue. Shimmery and delicate looking even if it doesn't show up in the picture. The second fly is Free flying done of solder and wire.


The season has started for doing the outdoor show. I do not remember it being so much work! And i have a partner!!!


We got along great, which i already knew we would in that area. She brought her daughter who is just back from Iraq. Rachel is the loveliest young woman. Bright, funny a LOT of fun for us two older females..then to break up the rest of the time was Dylan. Rachel's son and Janet's first grandchild. He is 3 the same age and my grandchild Hannah...so I knew he would be fun. He did great for being dragged all over for 4 days. He is one tired child! Cause I am one tired old lady.


The next show is in a couple of weeks. I hope I can make what is rolling around in my mind materialize...quick....glass takes so long to produce. I am going to make a few book examples, and a collage, and smaller panels.

Mary, this is stunning. I don't know a thing about glass work but I've seen it done on tv. Lots of work!!! Your dragonfly is beautiful. They are a favorite of mine. I saw red dragonflies recently near water.
