fairy wings

Maarten came over with his girlfriend to try on his costume.Even the pants fit quite well yay! There's still some work left to do on the pants, but it won't take long.

Also about a week ago I watched a tutorial on how to make fairy wings! They were supposed to be easy and quick to make. I was excited and wanted to make them but for whom?So I asked Maarten's girlfriend Priscilla if maybe she would want to wear fairy wings and come to the eff with us. I asked her what color they had to be and she said purple and pink. So here they are!







Me, being a newb at this failed trying to do it the way the woman on the tutorial video did. She used cheap white stockings pulled over iron wire. I already had iron wire and got myself a couple of different pairs of stockings. I failed at streching those wide enough. all they did was deform the wing shape. I should have had strechier stockings (larger size?) and stronger wire (though my wire is already quite thick!).


So after that failed experiment I found some old and cheap fabric lying around. It was sort of see through. I had hoped it would turn out better but the paint sort of closed up the holes in the fabric so it's not really see through anymore. My next set of fair wings will have to be made more appropriate fabric.

I hope Priscilla will like them :3
If not. I'll try to sell them XD
