Oh, snap. I ran into some trouble. Without going into too much detail all I have to say is be careful. The smallest piece I'll have to glue back together is the tarsal claw. Oh, the horror! I'll be busy. The tarsal claw is about the size of a pencil tip. My advice? 1) make sure to place a permanent pin through the thorax during the relaxing process. This pin is the pin that allows you to pin the dragonfly to the shadowbox; and 2) get a shadowbox that is deeper than the dragonfly itself. Okay, back to work.
I am back! Didn't take long. So, back to the foam board it is for the dragonfly. I used Aleene's Thick Designer Tacky Glue--but don't use this. Use something else. I am not a pro so this is purely for documentation and experimentation. I'll wait a week before I start placing it into a shadowbox. Ooh, I need to get a deeper one of those as well. Note the red circle. This area concerns me and I hope the tarsal claw doesn't fall off.
