#193 Yanma


Yanma is a dragonfly.  You can use chenille stems for the legs or you can using something else.  The floral wire inside of the wings is only used to give the wings some stability.  I used felt for the eyes.  Someone that is adventurous can crochet the eyes with some bedspread cotton.

Yanma was easier that I originally thought it was going to be.  The hardest part of Yanma was the mouth.
