Needle Lace Dragonfly

This Dragonfly was done for the Stitch map challenge in July. 
 
 
 
 
The Wings outline was done with the chain stitches.  Then Straight stitches were used to create lines over the wings.  Then Stab stitches were used to achieve this needle lace effect.    Though the body ofthis dragon fly does not look good , I am happy with the way the wings turned out.  Need more practice though.
