In the spirit of things

One of my big motivations is finding use for things that may otherwise get thrown away. In that spirit, here is a new project I started this week, to turn some dragonfly lights that no longer work (thanks to the squirrels!) into beautiful, shiny, mosaic dragonflies for the garden.

The old dragonflies have a lot of flex so the first step I have taken is to cover them in Mod Rok (known as Rigid Wrap in the USA) to get rid of the flex. The next step will be to give them a coating of cement to make them ready for the outdoors, then mosaic away. I will of course post the finished beauties.
