My Wing Farm

9/4/2019

4 Comments

 
I have lots of wings under construction on my kitchen table. Each fairy outfit needs four wings - two upper and two lower, which are made in pairs. First the fabric gets glued onto the wire with Gemtack glue. It's made for gluing gems onto clothes and dries waterproof....
Picture
The wires can't lay flat when I'm gluing the fabric or they'll stick to the table, so they get supported in mid air by a combination of hemostats, pliers, and clamps. Once the first side is dry, the excess fabric gets cut off, and more glue gets applied onto the back side....

Missy knows one of the sets is for her, and came to check them out....
​"I hope this one is for me.."

"They all look pretty nice so far....."

"Could I have this one, please??"

I love your wing forest :o) That's the most interesting arrangement of clamps, pliers, hemostats and rubber bands I've ever seen! But it's sure a good idea.

Missy's dress is such a nice combination of colours. I'm looking forward to seeing all your flower fairies in bloom.

Thanks! The dress she's wearing is like a bigger version of Tiny Talyssa's fairy dress. There's also a purple one her size, because at some point I intend to get another KW mini. So might as well be prepared.

My hope is that I can still do a mass fairy photo shoot before we loose the flowers.
