Dragonfly

On July 18th, Robinson's Independent Grocer in Huntsville is holding their Annual Second Chance Charity Sale. Gently used items from all over Muskoka are donated to the cause, cleaned up, organzied and sold in a giant garage sale style event, with all proceeds going to charity.

The best, nicest and most interesting of the items donated are set aside for a silent auction. In addition to these second hand items, new items are sometimes donated to be auctioned off, including this handmade dragonfly pin I've been working on. His body is wet felted, his wings are free motion embroidery. He's about 9.5 cm long, with a wingspan of 9 cm.

I can't quite decide if he's finished or not....I feel compelled to add some simple decoration to his tail, but have yet to come up with anything that works for me. So we'll see. I'm planning to make another one, maybe in red. I'll post some pictures of that, too, when it's finished.
Let me know what you think!
