Found this fellow on my deck yesterday, lying on his back.
Now that he's very still, I can marvel at leisure.

Really stunning. Looks like cloisonne.
ReplyDeleteIt really does!!
ReplyDeleteLove a dragonfly, see they around in NYC from time to time, but not all shiny and gorgeous like this.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's someway you can preserve this, preserve the color. I'd think the wings will be the biggest problem. I've had a lovely butterfly sitting in a bowl for about 15 years. It landed on my deck one day during a rain storm and began it's death. I put it on a deck chair out of the rain and let it die peacefully. Then I put it in this bowl and kept it. It's faded but it hasn't fallen apart.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that your butterfly is still intact after 15 years. I think I'll try to pin him to a wall among plant specimens my wife has on her studio wall.
ReplyDeletethere is just about nothin' in the world as beautiful as a dragon fly...
ReplyDeleteI bet you could use a spray acrylic fixative made for pastels to seal it.
