July Digital Wallpaper: Green Dragonfly

Each month I share a new pattern as a digital downloadable screen wallpaper background. My patterns are inspired by nature and created from hand drawn or painted elements.  If you’d like to get the monthly wallpaper download delivered directly to your inbox, along with stories about the patterns and updates from my studio, you can sign up for my newsletter here.

This month I’m re-sharing a pattern I made last July in a new color that’s part of a new mini-collection I recently finished. I’ll also re-share my favorite fun fact about dragonflies, which is that they belong to the Odonata order of insects whose name is derived from the word odon which is Greek for tooth. While dragonflies don’t technically have teeth, they do have very large, strong mandibles with sharp, tooth-like serrations.
