Big Dragonfly

17 years ago

DS saw this dragonfly near his job in Los Angeles and took me to see it. It's BIG! The eyeballs are large disco balls. Linda

    That's amazing. Also notice by the building there is a bird in what looks like a hubcap pot with a faux plant/flower of some kind. What is this place do you think?

    How cool is that? Very! It's a good thing I can't weld. That was sweet of your DS to take you to see it.

    Beautiful! The back part of dragonfly is barrels in graduated sizes ending with smaller size of that bright turquoise stuff on ground & then a split thing for end. Bird in container is very interesting also. It is very close to size of helicopter so he probably used 1 for figuring out size of parts. Very creative guy!! Wonder if it has anything to do with his business?? Jan

    Bird is really neat closeup also. Guy must be a welder. That is some kind of flower sort of like my red calla lily! Thanks for additional pics! Jan

    Wowee! Now that's a dragonfly!! He's pretty amazing....I thought at first it was a helicopter too! Very cool!

    Oh My Linda! What a cool thing for your son to take you to see. It is really an amazing art display. I would think that a pretty good sized man made those sculptures. I break a sweat when I glue marbles on a plate. I cant imagine the labor one would put into such jaw-droppin' pieces.

    What awesome stuff! I love the bird but that dragonfly sure is something. It reminded me of a helicoptor too! You have some interesting and creative folks out there in California!

    Holy cow it's huge! Are those 50gal drums? What an incredible amount of work went into that dragonfly! Yep, there lives a welder with a desire to create!
    I LOVE the bird.
    I've been trying to figure out what is that background behind the painted dragonflies? Is it spray paint on a glass door (they used the mesh of the wings for a stencil) or is it a pattern on paper? I cant figure out if I can see through it or not.
    Interesting pics. Thanks for sharing.

    LInda,

    WOW! Thanks for sharing that!!!! Ok, so I read BIG Dragonfly--I did NOT think it was going to be THAT BIG!!!!! You would hope that someone with that kind of talent gets paid for it as well as making yard art for themselves---otherwise it's wasted....That's the ultimate recycling.
    Still need to learn how to weld!
    Love, Jules
