WIND WHISPERS

Part of the joy of living along the river is watching the dragonflies emerge from prehistoric looking nymphs into the beautiful sky dancers of the summer. Dragonflies have been a subject of intrigue in the every single continent they are found.

The dragonfly wings where created using a cheesecloth, metallic fabric and thread. The dragonfly body was created using layers of thread drawn up from the bobbin of my machine. My dragonfly decided to take a rest on a background of appliqued grass which was then free-motioned quilted.
