More Dragonflies!

Some time ago I was asked to tat up a couple of dragonflies for a friend BUT instead of the split rings for the tail part she wanted them joined.  So I tried some ideas and they did not work and then I borrowed a tatting book from the Library and there was a Needle Tatting pattern for a different type of dragonfly that had a closed tail.  It was a bit difficult the first time around but trying to hold onto this skinny thing and do some joins with hook and shuttle, but eventually I got the hang of it.

They sure are pretty! And I really think you need more shuttles! 45 is not nearly enough...
