Dragonfly Recyled Art Sculpture from Repurposed Picture Molding and Recycled Elements, Giant 4 Ft Wide I just completed this giant dragonfly order. My customer had seen the giant wooden butterfly I had made and wanted
something similar and in the same color, but in a dragonfly design. I cut the wings out of plywood and started adding all the elements. Picture molding, hinges, keys, house numbers, domino's and spindles
are just a few of the recycled items I used... so much fun creating this piece! I took photos inside and outside but this is strictly an indoor piece. Just like on the butterfly, I added the metal strapping around the
edges of the wings. I used giant rusty keys for the antenna and a piece of an old drawer
pull for the eyes. She wanted the same color I used before so after I painted
base coats of black and brown, I dry brushed with metallic gold. The solid color really brings all those elements together but
you still see all that great texture. All the "junk" hoarding definitely pays off for items like this. I combined several different pieces to create the body using a wood
column and different parts of wooden lamp bodies. He's really big, almost 5 ft wide. This is another giant butterfly I made not too long ago. Thanks for checking out my giant recycled dragonfly.
Update May 2017, I'm no longer creating these giant recycled
sculptures. Thank you!
