I absolutely plan to make some of these! However lacking the plasma cutter, or the skills to use it...LOL, I'll be making my wings from fan blades.... Great job! -
I just love the creativity of these Dragonflies - simply brilliant and would look great in almost any type of interior design. -
I love dragonflies and I have wanted to make some of these - but I am yet to find the materials- will have to keep a look out! -
Sharon, I also make the dragonflies from fan blades too. Hometipster and Deanne, thank you! -
Hi Tina-love the variation of color on the wings and until this post hadn't seen the "key eyes", too cute. -
Tina, you've actually made me think I could do this. That is, if I had any idea what a plasma cutter was! -
Sorry Douglas, Plasma Cutter is like a cutting torch except the plasma cutter is run with high volt electricity and air compressor. My husband could explain about the plasma cutter far better than I. Hope this helps.

It sounds scary! I think I'm going to have to leave the cutting to you.
-
Great step by step! these are great! -
Chicks with plamsa cutters....how cool is that. I love the way it makes the melted curled edges. -
KMS :)

I am having so much fun!

The fuel for a Plasma cutter is really expensive though, and most of them can be converted to work with electricity instead....there are pros and cons to each but if you have access to one, WOW the things you can do!

How clever and cool...great job! -
Love, Love, Love!!! You are sooo talented. -Fleurish Decor ;) -
Douglas, it's sort of like cutting metal with a very hot knife. They're actually quite easy to handle. LOVE this tutorial, Tina! -
Thank you!
