The Magic of Dragonflies

Of all the animal totems the dragonfly is one of the most magical. Shimmering wings in iridescent colors The dragonfly symbolizes change and self realization. It is the understanding of a deeper meaning of life. Living it too its fullest, flying above the mundane. Many cultures believe the dragonfly symbolizes prosperity and good fortune.



This dramatic neck sculpture was created by crocheting midnight black non-tarnish copper wire with teal sea green and aurora borealis glass seed beads intertwined. Faceted glass beads and delicate green and pink beads were also added giving this neck sculpture an ethereal effect.

I painted two silver dragonfly charms with enamel paint. The 2 inch wings are an iridescent purple and their bodies a blue green. The dragonflies are wired on to the piece securely. In between sits a semi-precious amethyst flat round bead with a purple with peacock eyes lamp-work bead hanging. These dragonflies appear to have landed on a pond as the teal green glass beads reflect light with movement.

Amethyst is considered to be a stone of spirituality and contentment. It can help raise a lower vibration energy to a higher one. Amethyst can be used to attract love, happiness and peace of mind. It is said to have the highest vibration of all stones.

Midnight Black Crocheted Wire Art to Wear

Mistress of Magic Midnight Black Crocheted Wire Necklace with Moonbeams

I created this piece during the week of the full moon. Inspired by how brightly its beams reflected against the dark blue black sky and twinkled in the distance. Images of the mystical Isle of Avalon and the women who danced under the light of the silvery moon. This is for all who would love to live in a fairy tale even if it is only in our dreams.

Using non-tarnish deep black copper wire i crocheted several strands adding stunning glass seed beads with an aurora borealis effect. These beads catch the light and appear to be lit by moon beams against the black wire. The strands were then sewn together with more black wire, glass faceted beads and seed bead to keep its shape and give it support.

This neck sculpture is about 18 inches long and closes with a strong silver plated magnetic clasp which makes putting it on by yourself easy! Slide the magnetic clasp when taking off. Do NOT pull on it! PLEASE NOTE that anyone who wears a pace maker should NOT be wearing anything with a magnetic clasp! To see more about this art to wear sculpture please Click Here
