Perfect gift for Eco-conscious individuals (or collectives)...reclaimed sides of discarded blue bottles animate the dragonfly, from jaws to terminal abdominal appendages! Wings are cobbled from scrounged slices of blue drawn antique glass, with glass pieces order copper foiled and soldered together with lead free solder. The approximate dimensions? 6" from wingtip to wingtip, and 4" from tip to toe.
The giant, which became evident as he bowed his head to avoid contact with the door frame, entered the living room perfectly comfortable in his own skin. It turned out that he'd been the intern we'd been hearing about all morning down at the metal works garage. The image of a young female in flirty black miniskirt was immediately modified in my cranium. Aha! he began a strange and wonderful autobiographical journey, recounting building an electric upright bass he'd salvaged parts for, sawing off the wooden wings and cementing electric gadgets and gizmos to travel to California and play everything from show tunes to jazz and occasional punk (before punk was punk) rock (before rock was rock) gyrations. The best recollection for my money, was a retelling of being the runner up for the part of Lurch in the Addams Family. Turned out he was too tall (seven feet) for wardrobe to accommodate, so they hired a 6'3" fellow and fitted him with 6" risers in his shoes!
