Dragonfly Fugue 
 

A river worn pebble, hand formed by hammering from a thin sheet of steel and patinated to a glossy mix of deep brown tones. The dragonfly is inlaid in shakudo and gold with translucent golden, mother of pearl wings and black pearl eyes. The underside reveals a riverside  view of grasses in ochre coloured brass and golden orchids edged with a pure silver stream.​​
