Dragonfly

This is a fun project!  Making dragonflies from broken chairs and picture frame.

 I was lucky to find a bunch of pictures and mirrors that were being thrown out in the trash!
 I saved all the good frames for other projects.
 the rest of the frames that were broken or rotted I took apart and saved all the good pieces.
 My husband found an old rocker at the dump, so I knocked it apart and saved the pieces for dragonflies.
 Now it's time to pick and choose the pieces that will be made into the dragonfly.
 I tape off the end where I don't want Paint.
 I lay it out to see if it will look right.
 I add paint to the ends of the wings and body. When the paint was dry I rubbed on a clear cream wax. I found other odds and ends for the antennas and eyes to add a little bling.
 You can do the dragonflies in so many different ways and colors.
