Wing Awesomeness - Day 49


There are days when the vision you have in your head comes out just about perfect!
Today is that day!
After much thinking about the wings for my painting, I stumbled on tutorials using Fantasy/Angelina Film. I ordered online yesterday and this morning it arrived. All plans for the day dissolved away as I made these wings. Then took depth breaths as I had to wire them into the canvas.
The painting can still be seen through the wings and they are delicate enough that they dont overpower the whole piece.
Its called "Into the Unknown" 


 Good Tutorials so you can head off and make your own!

  3. Thanks Julie, was definately a pat-on-the-back day!
    Peggy, flame definately was the riskiest part of the project! It was used to make the holes and do the edges, but its so quick. Got little flames at some end points and thought I'd accidently melt the lot!
