A dazzling dragonfly
One peaceful afternoon, Anna went to the garden looking for inspiration for her needlework. Past her flew a dragonfly, immediately attracting her attention with its lightness and grace. Anna drew the outlines of the winged animal on her sketchpad. Later, this resulted in this embroidered version of the dragonfly which now adorns a makeup bag.
