Dragonfly Wall Decor Earthtoned With Brown Border (m4010)

Available

The center of this dragonfly’s wings is comprised of mother of pearl oyster shells. Each individual shell is emphasized by the different hues of the natural shell. Bordering the outer edge of the shells is tin, hand-painted, with a weathered copper finish. Though very different materials, both the metal and the shell complement each other and will enhance any space.

The basic frame of the dragonfly is created using tin, which is powder-coated with a black finish and makes this piece safe to use outdoors. The edges of the frame are reinforced using thicker tin wire. The front of this piece is adorned in areas with capiz shell, an oyster native to the Philippines, before being hand-painted and sealed with a water-based sealant. The primary purpose of this oyster to provide a source of food, however, the shell is a sustainable by-product that can be used for decoration. The capiz shell subtly replicates the reflective qualities of dragonflies in nature. The entire piece is lightweight and has an eyelet in the back allowing it to be hung using a finishing nail, command strip, or a push pin.

Due to it being a natural material, the organic colors of capiz come through as tans and browns underneath the paint.
