~  Dragonfly  ~
I used 16 gauge bare copper wire to form the dragonfly.  I wrapped 16 gauge around it at different spots.  I placed a swarovski crystal in the center of it.  I'm very proud of this piece.  I then antiqued it with Liver of Sulfur for that vintage look and finally waxed it with Renaissance wax to keep it looking good.  It hangs from a black cord.  An awesome piece !

It has been used successfully to amplify and to transmit thought. It is said to be a "bestower of good" bringing benefit to its user. Copper can conduct electrical impulses and magnify the energy transfer from the healer or from minerals to the subject of the healing. Copper can combat lethargy, passivity, restlessness, excitability and non acceptance of oneself. It stimulates initiative, optisism, diplomacy and independence.Copper activates and opens the base and sacral chakras, advancing and stabilizing the energies of intuition, sexuality, desire and vitality, directing these energies toward the pursuit of one's path of evolution. It allows one to recognize the barriers which are in the path of one's development. Copper can be used to stabilize and balance the flow of blood within the body, helping to increase circulatory functions when necessary. It can be used to cleanse wounds and to fight bacterial infection. It is also useful in the treatment of arthritis, bursitis, and rheumatism, and to stimulate the metabolic processes. ~ BLESSINGS ~
