About this Product
These pretty pastel dragonflies have landed on a multi-layered shell frame. Each piece of the frame is unique which makes this piece beautiful. The frame measures 7" in diameter and weighs 5.9 oz. The lovely little dragonflies are decorated with pastel paper. You may purchase the stand that the frame is displayed on.

Meet the Maker
I am a retired math teacher who loves shopping at small gift shops, especially when the products are handmade. Fortunately I have time to make handmade products of my own and I am excited to become a member of a handmade community.
My 3-D wall art is constructed using recycled picture frames and wood dragonflies decoupaged with imported papers. The combination of used metal and wooden frames and handcrafted dragonflies makes each piece one-of-a-kind. Because the frames are recycled, some may have slight imperfections. This adds to the unique, handmade character of each design.
The dragonflies make a fine gift for birthdays, a new home, holidays, or a special treat for you! Decorate a small spot with one frame or buy a few to create an interesting arrangement. They can be displayed in your choice of orientation on a wall*, shelf, stand, mantle, or hearth. My frames cannot be used to display photos: they are intended as art in their own right.
There are no duplicates of these dragonfly frames. When you purchase one, you are buying an original design. New designs will be added at least once a month.
*Display hardware is not included.

How it’s Made
I love thrift stores. I find beautiful, interesting picture frames (and usually a few other items) among the treasures there. I remove the backing and hanging hardware and clean them up. Sometimes I spruce the frames up with a little paint, but for the most part, I leave the flaws just the way they are. I like the simplicity of one frame, but I use two in about a third of my creations.
Choosing which dragonflies and papers to use with each frame is the next step in the process. I have multiple shapes and sizes of wooden dragonflies and over thirty imported papers. I decoupage and clear coat each and then adhere them to the frame. Each one is truly unique which makes the whole process so satisfying.
Shop Policies
The frames do not come with mounting materials. Many of them can stand on their own. Note that when using a stand, a bit of the stand will show through.
If the frame arrives damaged, it can be returned for repair, replacement with a different frame, or returned for a refund within 30 from the date of ordering. Please email me, if you run into any problems.
I will ship your artwork within 3-5 days of ordering.
