School Play Props and Things

Today i have started on the Woodland Fairy wings. Drawn out my sketch, I wanted my wings to look leaf like. The black outline is the heavy weight copper wire, and the brown is the lighter wire veins. The copper wire used is found recycled electrical wire from a local skip.
Once the wires have been stripped i then glued them together and held it whilst it is drying with paper paint tape. The wings will be covered with fine sheer fabric after. The tape holding the wires together will be taken off.

The cardboard reinforcements and button rivets have been added as well as the rope carry handles and the lid chain.
Key hole detail added too.
It needs a few finishing details before it gets painted.
This has been made out of cardboard boxes taped together and buttons, hot glued on and some plastic washing line rope, All it needs now is painting and the finishing of the details. It all looks a little yellow cos i took the pictures last night and the lighting is not so good.
