I just had to try Thelma's directions for making dragonfly wings... Check out her tutorial...
I wish I had only used the crystal Angelina , but I added some green and purple and it made it dark and after ironing it didn't show the color...sigh!
Anyway I stuck with it, I used quite a fine wire, (34 guage ) and it was a little hard to keep the shape when I sewed it down... However the first time is always a bit difficult.. 
I will complete the dragonfly later. .... it is 1 am and my eyes are getting dim!!!!

Hi Maggie:) Oh how I love your little projects:) I've been so crazy busy at work these days and haven't been around a lot. My teddy bear is about the same size as yours, aren't they cute. Love the book marks also:) Happy summer to you too!
Oh my, such delicate fabric it looks like! How do you do it? Stopped by to say hi. Enjoy your weekend.
The wings are beautiful. It's a great idea that I shall file away for just the right project
Hope you have a great weekend
