There are some beautiful photos of dragonflies at Inspiration Avenue's blog!
Here's something I made after giving the challenge a good night's sleep...
I think they are perfect for cards and gifts! :)
Beside the inspiring pictures I applied the instructions of Clare Youngs (Papercrafting in No Time, 2010). Btw, in case you have read the book, I sketched my own patterns for these dragonflies...
This was a quick project in which one needs very little materials: some clothe spins (these were about 2 inches long), sequins, craft gems and glossy papers in three colours.
Thank you for looking!
Your dragonflies are adorable! What a fun idea.
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous! They would make great bookmarks, even though the wings might get a bit smushed between the pages of a book.
