Dragonfly (purple)
At the tail end of the Top End wet season, as the knock-em-down storms lay the spear grass flat, the dragonflies appear as if from nowhere. They come in many colours and in a variety of sizes. They hover, they dart, they perch quivering on the edge of a bright green leaf, land gracefully on a lily pad in a pond. They herald the change of season, blue skies and cooler nights. The dry is on its way.
The top of the purse frame measures 11cm across. The height of the purse (not including balls) is approximately 13cm. The final image in the carousel shows the fabric used for the purse lining.
