This is what i have been working on today. The back brace is echoing the tiara.
This is the wings on the dress. The lower part of the wings have no adornment at the moment, the skirt will be leaves and i will see that it needs after i have finished the dress. The top of the winds have little apples on them. There are a few sparkly adornments to catch the light and the wired beads bounce with movement. All the wings can be bent to whatever is needed.

The basic framework of the wings are finished, Now i am adding the embellishments. This will echo the tiara in colour, texture and beadwork.

The leaf wings can be bent to whatever shape is pleasing.
What also is shown in this shot is a dress bought from Savers, and will be adorned with leaves. It started white until i dyed it apple green, It looks a little blue in this shot.

Back View. The beauty of this is that it is very light and easy to carry. I do however have optional weights to add to the bottom if needed.

This is one segment of the wings being done. I have chosen a green rose net fabric, this has been glued onto one side.
I have then flipped it over and covered the other side.

Finished segment of wing. The rose pattern has disappeared and hopefully it looks like foliage.

The wing frame has been assembled and is sturdy on it's own, I have spray painted it brown to represent branches, The fabric i will be using will enable the structure to show through. It is outside drying.
This is the treasure chest with a single spray of paint all over. I will be doing touch ups by hand using poster paints where needed. It was Great fun!
The paper has been sprayed gold and the treasures will be hot glued onto it afterwards.

The chest from the back. I found the easiest way to get the paint off my hands after was to use coarse salt and water and finished off by plenty of hand cream.

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.
