MINIATURE DRAGONFLY KITE
 |  |  |  |  |
| The original prototype of this kite had bamboo spars and a blue body. It earned a respectable second place against the big stuff, at the 1999 Washington State International Kite Festival, Figure and Novelty category, Masters division. I make these kites using metallic mylar and irridescent/clear cellophane materials. The spars are mono-filament that have been given two different angles of bend, using heat. The wings closest to the head are overlapped by the leading edge of the second pair of wings, but not glued together, giving the effect of the kite having four separate wings. The tail is made of tissue, making it the least durable part of the kite. The tail is also the only giveaway that this is a kite, while it's flying. They fly very much like a dragonfly does, dipping and hovering, depending on wind conditions. This kite flies well, indoors and out. |
| Each kite is packaged in a reusable and recyclable clear plastic box with flying instructions on the inside label. They are completely assembled with flying line, winder and tail.
