The delicate and lacy wings of dragonflies are a joy for me to draw and share with you. I used 22k gold to hand draw the dragonfly onto iridescent lavender art glass, and fired it in for permanence. The art glass tile is then securely bonded into a wooden Rosewood box for you to store your keys, change, or small treasures.

The simple uncluttered beauty of organic lines stand alone. I draw each tile individually for my boxes and although they may have the same look, no two are exactly alike.

This lovely functional box measures 5.25" x 5.25" x 2" tall. Rosewood commercial box with original glass tile inlay. 22k gold hand drawn and fired in for permanence.

I study nature, photographing and sketching what I see. My images are then transformed into simplified 22k gold line drawings on glass.

Because I love sparkle, I use mostly iridescent glass, but I can draw on any glass you prefer. If you'd like this image in a different color; or a different image on this color I'd be happy to make it for you. Simply send me a note here or via my email: linda at steiderstudios dot com.

The gold I use is suspended in a liquid binder and available to purchase in my 'mica and tools' section. It's fired into the glass for permanence and will not scratch off.
