Dragonfly Metal Wall Art Dragonfly Metal for Insect Enthusiasts

Amethyst window, wings spread wide.

A single dragonfly is laid out flat and symmetrical across the disc, wings fully open, long segmented body running from top to bottom. The wings are divided into hundreds of small panes that shade from lilac at the tips through blue to a warm lemon yellow near the body, each pane outlined in dark leading. The thorax and eyes are polished aubergine.

Behind it the ground breaks into wide panels of marbled violet and peach that radiate out from the centre, with a ring of pointed leaf shapes set around the rim like small jewels. The look is a church window, but the leading and the glass ripple are painted into the artwork and printed onto a flat panel. No glass, nothing to break.

Hang it where light falls on it, above a desk or in a stairwell, or stand it on a shelf against a pale wall. The violet range suits a room that already has amethyst or crystal on display. A gentle gift for someone who works with dragonfly symbolism, or simply for a gardener who watches for them.
