Fun salvage metal Dragonfly

admin

I found some salvaged springs and got the idea of making a Dragonfly after seeing one in my yard. While making it a Dragonfly landed on my sculpture I guess to show it approval.
Reply:What a great photo of the real dragon fly. I like the exit sign head. Great job!
Reply:Nice work!I also like the exit sign on the head. Also the expanded metal combined with the rod in the wings looks great. The attention to detail throughout is great. It really makes it complete.PROUD   AMERICAN

Reply:Thanks everyone for the comments. @dserqison You're right that's why I posted it for some criticism. Its funny how you just don't see things until someone points it out.

Reply:Thanks Weldermike your right Grumpchicket does some amazing work and will be an inspiration to me. I just looked up his post. That is the difference between lawn art and a sculpture. Welding is a new medium for me and I love how you can just put thing together. Thanks for the comment. I'm here to learn from some talented people.
