Miho's Wings

Someone asked how I made Miho's wings, and how I attached them....

...so I took photos to try and explain, and figured I should share here as well.  I did post a photo while back when I first sewed and painted her wings.

 I did not take photos of the wire frame I formed to support them, however, this is what the completed wing unit looks like from the back... 

...and the inside view, that goes against the doll's body/gown....

The doll's gown is strapless, so the only way I could figure out to attach the wings without unsightly straps, was to create a sort of 'clip' out of wire in the back. I formed a wide 'hook' of sorts from the ends of the wing wire - so it could be slipped down over the top edge of the back of her dress - and then padded it with felt, and covered it with white satin to protect the doll's resin.

​When clipped onto her dress, the whole thing stood out a bit far in back, and wasn't very attractive from the side, so I sewed some ruffles from scraps of the same minty green tricot as her dress, to hide everything....

Now I need to add this to the 'Creative Journey' about the making of Miho's gown, so it's easy to find in the future.
