Description

As with all Beaded Beasties box frames, I aim to recreate a little piece of nature for your wall. This richly-coloured frame features a beaded dragonfly in a mix of new and recycled red, pink and lilac beads to give the flash of colour that we see in the real insect. It is set against a printed watercolour background paper. The acetate wings have a printed vein pattern. This unique piece of wall art would make an ideal gift for any insect-lover as well as those who enjoy the symbolism of nature. Dragonflies represent renewal and transformation. They can also symbolise resurrection, a free spirit and swiftness. The setting is finished with a clump of bulrushes made from dried seedheads, wooden skewers, cotton cord, recycled card and wooden beads threaded on wire to mimic the dragonfly's preferred habitat near waterways and marshy ground. This white box frame is 20cm (8 ins) square and 33mm deep. It has a hanging hook on the back. All Beaded Beasties box frames are one of a kind.

This dragonfly is inspired by the vividly coloured Scarlet Darter. These curled, dried seedheads seemed ideal to represent bulrushes and it was fun to combine a variety of materials to suggest the dragonfly's habitat.
