Step 18:  Now wrap 22G black wire between the eyes and around the body, through the center of the coil about 4-5 times to cover the base of the wings and the twisted wire that holds the wings in shape.

 Step 19:  Add the abdomen of the dragonfly (1/8" coil).  Using the wire tail, thread this wire through the center of the body coil from back to front until the first 1/8" of the abdomen coil is inside the 1/4" body coil.  The loose wire tail should be sticking out the front of the dragonfly.  Now wrap the loose wire tail under and parallel to the body.  Cut this loose wire about 1/4 inch past the end of the body coil.  Tuck the last 1/4" of loose wire into the body coil to hold the abdomen in place. 
 
Step 20:  Position the wings and legs by hand so that the finished piece stands by itself.  Now you have a dragonfly wire sculpture.

This WigJig jewelry making project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Household Designs.  We try to provide interesting projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies.  We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project.  Some of the skills and jewelry making techniques have not been discussed here.  For beginners, we suggest that you visit our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to jewelry making might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Making Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown. 

 Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store.  We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
