Go to Success videos and photos at the left of the screen and click with mouse and it will take you to the area to find photos, if you scroll down you should see the photos and click on view all. If you double click on the image it will make it larger.

Dizzy, good morning. I have looked at your dragon fly, it is most impressive. But, could you tell us all, what you used to wrap the wire into shape to get the actual body shape. I can see what you have done with the wire frame, but it is the dragon fly itself I am interested in.
Many Thanks
