(Update: All Sold) These are made with real dragonfly wings (unharmed, found naturally dead) and colourful, hand-made paper as the background. Here is a short video to show you how glossy the surface is. Watch below, or watch on YouTube.
On my walks on the farm, I come across dragonflies that have died. Their life cycle is very short but they live a good life on this property where I treat it like a wildlife preserve, encouraging bio-diversity and a healthy environment. I make the wings into necklaces; in this way, I raise funds to promise a healthy future for their next generation here. (More about the farmland that I am attempting to preserve.)
(Update: All Sold) $35 plus a few dollars for shipping, depending on where you live.
I may make a second edition. If you would like to express your interest in these, please contact me.
These necklaces contain hand-made paper (the coloured background), real dragonfly wings, silver-plated brass elements, and a lush, glossy surface. All made with love in my studio.
The edition is complete and all sold. Here is what they all look like:
