Dragonflies, any good links?

Been looking for a few different ways to do dragonflies and the only hit I can seem to come up with lately is BIll Epps  you tube video.  That and a million blacksmith shops with dragonfly in the name.  I want to  make a small bullrush  and have a  divot on the bottom of the dragonfly that it balances on.  and set the dragon fly on the point of the bulrush so it can move in the breeze.  Well at least that's the vision.

 

So anyone else have any links handy or been looking into them.

Appreciate any help.

 

After watching Bill Epps video a few times.  I am rather impressed with how thin his hot cut chisel is.

Had a nice long post all written up and now it went poof! 

Heres a few pics of the dragonflies I worked on today.  #1  wings failed due to cold shuts  #2  guillotine tool I made up  necked the neck down to much so it broke off when I nearly had it to shape.  #3  modified the guillotine a bit kept the neck a little thicker.  but ran out of time to play in the shop  as the wife demanded I go hunting and she gets to go for a drive in the woods.  Tried to find my way up to the blacksmith cabin we found years ago on the backside of the mountain  but never did find quite the right road.  Saw a few grouse, rabbit and deer.  Only thing I brought home were a few shaggy manes that fried up into a nice dinner.  I'm really wanting to get back up to the cabin...
