My favorite so far. Still needs snaps. A combination of a couple of designs in my files. It is white stitching on shiny black alligator. I tinted the picture to cut down on the shine that the camera was picking up. My family has adopted the dragonfly as a symbol for my beautiful granddaughter who died in a car accident. Read the dragonfly story at www.thedragonflyproject.org to see why.

What a wonderful little story. Thank you for posting the link. I now have a completely different way to look at my little pond and the glorious dragonflies that frequent it! I have always loved dragonflies and your key fob design is beautiful. I am sorry to read of your granddaughters passing.

Such a lovely story and fitting adoption of a symbol--so sorry for your loss. Mom just left me on May 26. Your keychain [fob] is a living memory. Very very nice.
What size and type needle is used and is there just shiny alligator or is their felt behind??? The design is lovely.

Sorry for your recent loss.

peafarm. I used a regular size 11 embroidery needle and the back is the same as the front. I used vinyl from a recycled purse.

Dealing with a loss is so hard. My daughter died a couple years ago and had given me a dragonfly necklace that I always wear, so it is special to me too. I love your design. My prayers are with you and yours, hugs and blessings.

What a lovely key fob. I read your dragonfly story link. What a beautiful story. I truly believe that our loved ones that have passed on do watch over us. I am so sorry for you for the loss of your granddaughter. I pray that she is resting in peace, and I know she is watching over you. Hugs to you, Sharon

Thank you. Whenever we see a dragonfly we say Hi Shauna because we know she is always with us.
