Bradford AAUW branch members create dragonfly window decorations.
The Bradford Branch of AAUW created lovely dragonfly window decorations with the direction of Nancy Dryden. Members created two dragonflies in which one was to keep and one was to share.
Dryden explained that dragonflies were the first insect to inhabit the earth 300 million years ago in the Carboniferous Period. This is before the Triassic and Jurassic Periods. At that time the oxygen content of our atmosphere was 25 percent compared to today’s 21 percent. Scientists believe this contributed to it’s giant size with a wing span of up to 2 feet.
Dragonflies are symbolic of trasnformation, adaptablility, wisdom, clarity, lightness of being, self-realization, and living in the moment. The members are excited to share these creations with others.
These lovely dragonflies are a sun catcher too. If you have seen birds fly into your windows, this also keeps the birds away from your widows. Colorful beads from jewelry can be used to make any color combination you like to go with your room décor. I have made several as gifts for my 5 sisters.
