the making of a found object or folkart dragonfly

For those who are interested in winning my dragonfly, I thought I'd show you what it used to look like...



This old chair was a bit wobbly so I took it apart and salvaged most of it to make other things, such as dragflies.  I little whittling, a lot of sanding, some paint, and accessories like eyes, mouth and wings.... and a wooden spindle evolves into a one of a kind garden accessory, aka yard art.  :)

What a wonderful way to recycle. Only an artist would see a dragonfly hiding in the chair!

How clever! I think your dragon fly is just the cutest thing.

It's nice to envision items that you have and reinvent them into things that we can enjoy!
