The emergence of Dragonflies.
Posted by Stephen Smith on
Well, spring has just about broken out in the UK.
With the temperature reaching double figures in some area.
Beautiful Dragonflies will be emerging from their winter slumber.
Bouncing through the skies and darting through the reeds.
Beautiful colours floating over the pools of blue water
and
occasionally landing right next to you.
Giving you a glimpse of their beautiful true colours.
Well that's my attempt at describing these amazing creatures.
Here are a few of my designs. I have tried to catch the colours in the dichroic glass with a simple Dragonfly enamel image
But I prefer Alfred, Lord Tennyson words which I have included further on.
The Dragonfly
Today I saw the dragonfly
Come from the wells where he did lie.
An inner impulse rent the veil
Of his old husk: from head to tail
Came out clear plates of sapphire mail.
He dried his wings: like gauze they grew;
Thro’ crofts and pastures wet with dew
A living flash of light he flew.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
