Here is another dragonfly setting. Once again, there is actually very little turning involved in creating this. with that, I have learned some tricks to doing what turning there is. This is all sycamore and I did it as an appreciation gift for a very special niece. Several months or about a year ago, we started noticing my older sister was failing, both mentally and physically. At 89 I suppose that can be expected. Still, it's my sister and it seemed her deterioration was progressing rapidly and plans for caring for her had to be discussed. My niece, her grand daughter stepped up and said she would do everything she could so Sis could be at home as long as possible. She did, Nicki was there for her, often all day and all night, doing what ever was necessary. She cared for Sis, took training, etc. etc. Sis loved to ride and visit a local buffalo ranch. Nicki took her every day. She did this freely, with love and at sacrifice to her own well being and family. I would add, her family was on board with it 100%. My sister passed about a month ago and thanks to Nicki she was able to be home until she entered hospice. I just felt compelled to do something to let my niece and her husband know how much they were appreciated for what they'd done for her, for all of us, really. This is what I ended up with, basically from limbs dropped in our yard from our sycamore trees. Nicki asked me, "how did I know sycamores were her favorite tree?" I did know she is a fan of Tolkien but the sycamore thing was pure luck I guess.
