Love these ! When I go to the lake and float I don't know if it is my tanning oil or what but the dragonfly's land all over me , even the ones mating..I have had them in green, teal, blue, yellow and white..So beautiful. Like a floating hotel for dragonfly's. Thank you again Heather, from Kansas City..Deby Stay safe and well.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

So cool Deby. You are very welcome. Take care.

[@rebeccaboothe4825]

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Mustafa. Hope you make some!

[@treesapgrl]

I'm gonna cry, Heather... Peggy and I were talking about our Auntie's a lot yesterday. Peggy's is still with us, but mine passed away July 28, 2016... I miss her so very much, and her thing was dragonflies (I have all but 1 piece, which was a purse my cousin *really* wanted, from her entire collection, which is, easily, over 200 dragonflies). I wish I had the opportunity to make these for her today. 😭 Love these SO much! 💜💜💜

[@HeatherBoydWire]

The universe is a magical place Amber. I'm very grateful our worlds have collided! 💜💜💜

[@sandyblue4235]

Hi Debbie: Thank you. A pendant would be cute too. Some members of the Wire Makers Club made them and added more beads/wire to the wings, etc. Lots of potential for this design. Have fun with them.

[@radiatehope]

Heather Boyd Wire normally I’d start the “no no no thank YOU!” routine.... I think we need to start saying your welcome more. But then I think that song on Moanna 🎶what can I say, except your welcome🎶 LOL ok enough rambling... Do you have a website or an email address? I have a few questions I've been trying to find the answers to, hopefully you have the answers or you can point me in the direction where I can find the answers. 🥰

[@MsPixi66]

Hi Heather from England could you show how to wrap an oval rounded stone not a flattened one please.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Amanda. It depends on the style you like. There are some great tutorials on RUclips for oval stones. Good luck! ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=oval+cabochon+wrap

[@Turtledove72]

Love these. How could I add loops to this to make a necklace please?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Carol. You can simply add a jump ring for a pendant.

[@nathaliepeignieux4349]

Tes libellules sont vraiment magnifiques 👏👏👏 j'adore 👍❤❤❤❤🙋‍♀️💋💋💋💐💐💐💐 merci pour ce partage 😘

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Merci beaucoup Nathalie.

[@Titania0909]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@HeatherBoydWire]

😍

[@theresamccue7766]

Do you put noth ends threw tbe bead?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

If you check the video at 3:20 you can see I put just one wire in the bead and bring the other one to the back.

[@harikaharika1683]

👌🏻🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺⚘🌹

[@sandyblue4235]

Is the pendant bigger though?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

These earrings are pretty big, but you can make the pendant larger, especially if you want to add beads to the wings like Angela did!

[@sallymalec2685]

Can I use a jig for to make the dragonfly? If so, do you have a pattern?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Sally: I did make a dragonfly with the jig here: ruclips.net/video/80x1atJnOL4/видео.html you would probably have to make it a bit smaller. Maybe I can draw a pattern for you to trace.

[@MinaFats]

What wire should I use when there's no artistic wire here in my country? ;-;

[@HeatherBoydWire]

You can use any 20g wire. Try copper or aluminum.

[@MinaFats]

@@HeatherBoydWire Got it! Will stainless steel works too?

[@annetteweadock4949]

Darling About how long is the body on the ones your demonstrating here?

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Annette: I believe they were about 1 1/2 long in total!

[@1donnalees]

Dragonflies don’t have antennas

[@HeatherBoydWire]

I've been told, but thank you!

[@poppopaj5t]

I would like the e-book. Do you need my email address to send it?
