Description
I made this for my daughter as a graduation gift. I had two things in mind for the center piece. I wasn't sure if I picked the right one. I started beading. Rachel and Gavino were outside playing. I took a break and went outside to visit with them. I was wearing shorts. Suddenly a Dragonfly with transparent wings with gold/brown circles on the wings landed on my left leg. I did not move until it flew away. It was then that I knew I choose the right piece for the center and Ashlee agreed.
I was at a bead show when I came across my first Dragonfly button. The first one was black with the Dragonfly painted in 24 k gold. I had it for a year before I knew what color beads to use. My wife Rachel fell in love with. She hung it in our living room in a prime location. I was not allowed to take it to art shows. It seemed the Dragonfly would stay with us permanently until I received an email one day from a young man who wanted to purchase it to honor his mother and fiance. What a touching story. Rachel and I were speechless. Rachel broke the silence and said, "I'm not sad. The Dragonfly Turtle is going to the right home." That experience was very spiritual. After it was sold Rachel found more glass Dragonfly buttons so began the Dragonfly Turtle Series.
