This dragonfly is incredible in beauty and design! The colors of the wings are inspired by the water of a crystal-clear lake, making the pearl design wings feel translucent next to the dark body. The long flowing antenna and the shape of this dragonfly provide a classic feel to this very familiar form.
The basic frame of the dragonfly is created using tin, which is powder-coated with a black finish and makes this piece safe to use outdoors. The edges of the frame are reinforced using thicker tin wire. The front of this piece is adorned in areas with capiz shell, an oyster native to the Philippines, before being hand-painted and sealed with a water-based sealant. The primary purpose of this oyster to provide a source of food, however, the shell is a sustainable by-product that can be used for decoration. The capiz shell subtly replicates the reflective qualities of dragonflies in nature.
