Oh, if you could see those dragonflies now. I'll take pictures later, but believe me, they are no longer pretty. We had a terrible, terrible storm here a couple of weeks ago. There was a funnel cloud that was spotted & photographed, but didn't actually touch ground. We got 15 inches of nickel-size hail stones during a period of about 45 minutes and wind so loud we couldn't hear each other speak without shouting. Then we had 6 hours of torrential rains. My daughter has $9000. worth of damage to her car. Many cars destroyed. Countless windows blown out, asphalt & sheet metal roofs stripped off. Spanish tile roofs shattered like glass. My poor little junk garden didn't fare well at all, but I'm starting to put it back together. We will be getting a new roof soon. We all survived with no injuries. They say this storm, that came with NO warning, did more damage to this community than any hurricane has ever done.

Go to the "stained glass and mosaics forum", all the information you'll need you will find there. Good luck! Ramona Here is a link that might be useful: stained glass forum

hello jan! :) thank you for your sweet comments!! :)) hmmm... i dunno why you couldn't print off the tutorial...that's funny, you mean only the rock came up? i do have a dragonfly post about 2/3 posts back. i have taken pictures of the dragonflies i painted on canvas. dunno if that'll be a better help :) ooo... that's a big dragonfly you've got there... don't forget to post pictures of it when it's done! what i did with my dragonflies was ... i painted them first on an A4 canvas then scanned them into the computer. that way i can resize then and print them out as decoupage images. you should consider that for your dragonfly as well, tho if your galvanized metal is curve (like if it's a watering can for instance) it'll be difficult to scan. just a suggestion ...but if you first paint the 15 inch df on a piece of canvas then scan it into your computer... you can then cut and glue the original to your galvanized metal. and then varnish over. that way you kill 2 birds with one stone :) just a suggestion :) hugs luthien :)) Here is a link that might be useful: the link that'll take you to the dragonflies on canvas

Thank you so much Carol. I printed it out, maybe I will have better luck. Let me ask you this...In so many instances when you download supplies the brush, filter and other goodies are together. I have WinZip, I click on it to open then select my folder where I am going to put it. I usually open a new folder. Then I save the file and it is unzipped. If there is a filter there, a brush there, and supplies where is a girl supposed to put them where they all end up in the right place? Charlene
