I was out this morning and was watching some pretty red dragonflies playing tag with some Bluegills and thought I might try on out. Here goes. I am new at this so govern yourseleves accordingly!
These are the materials.

Nothing fancy
red yarn
white hair
peacock feather
I thought about the bead chain for a head but it did not have the right proportions.
Image
Tied in a length of the yarn letting it hang in back of the bend to make a tail. Palmered it forward to make the body.
Image
Cut off a bit of hair for the wings and tied it into the body with a few wraps.
Image
Image
I took 2 strands of peacock feather for the legs. They were pulled forward as I tied them in so they would wind up facing toward the head. Not having a rotating vise I had to turn it upside down to tie them on the bottom.
Image

Image
Trimmed up the legs to size and a whip finish and ready for the pond.
