Blue Dragonfly Shadowbox

Posted on | September 22, 2009 | 2 Comments

Blue Dragonfly tells us that the fall is upon us and the long winter is approaching. With shimmering wings and delicate form, it seems a creature from the land of Faerie. It is a power animal which can help to put us in touch with nature spirits.P1080823

Blue Dragonfly spirit means you must consciously make an effort to express your hopes, dreams, and wishes. It’s spirit is the essence of the winds of change, the messages of wisdom and enlightenment; and the communication from the elemental world.

This lovely 4″ dragonfly spirit has been hand sculpted of premium Kato poly clay and stands on an imprint of a Norway maple leaf. Colored with mica powders, inks, and heat set paints, her wings, bodice, and headpiece are drenched with AB iridescent silver Swarovski crystals. They sparkle and change color from different angles. There are two larger black crystals in the headpiece that mimic a dragonfly’s eyes. She has a long soft hand tinted mohair pony tail.

The 7″ x 5″ shadowbox is hand painted with multiple layers of different paint, mica powders.P1080817

This piece is available in the Arts In Rhode Island group shop.
