How cute, and also the fish making it fly. LOL.
I've always been tempted to try a bead dragonfly but never could figure out how to start. On my list like everything else. You did a good job on yours.

Beautiful! Dragonflies are my fave garden critter, if you will. How is it the fish make them fly? Do you have them staked in pond plants?

Very nice. I just love it. I know exactly how those fish will jump for stuff. Are there books to teach how to make wire bugs?

What a good idea. I always wonder how to make wings, love the beads.

Thank you for the compliments. No book that I know of, I just started using some copper wires and beads. The dragonfly is hung by a fish leeder, from a large coiled piece of copper "pipe" wire that sits on the bottom of the pond and spirals up above the water. When the fish hit this "pipe", wire, it makes the dragonfly jiggle. I have also seen them nip at it as some of the beads look like their food.

Love his big, green eyes!! I'll bet the fish DO like him!

I really like this. You made what I would think a very complicated production look so simple. Inspirational!
