On the subject of wings....

I am going to say it outloud.  I love angel wings.  And I decided that I would embrace this fully and make a pair!  I have seen more than a few here and there and I drew up plans and then dove in.

I  found that the "science fair " carboard to be 

an easy and good source of the base.  I penciled in the shape and cut it out.I also covered the brown part of the cardboard with white paper so it wouldn't show through.

I also bought a feather boa and Joanns with a coupon and spread it over the top section,  I would spread hot glue and press the feathers over it.  I found that using a wooden spoon was a great finger saver.

I found it easier to start at the bottom and move  towards the top.  It takes lots of feathers!

Then you repeat for the other wing and then attach with  a  square of cardboard covered with white paper and yes more feathers.
On the back I attached a hanger with hot glue, covered it with white paper and you guessed it...
more feathers!
Now I moved it into place and I am quite happy with it...

Here it is hung up and resting over me in my studio.  Love it!

Get to CLASS!

I was nervous.  I didn't sleep well the night before.  I checked my supplies  a thousand times.  I ate off my thumbnail..  Belle on the other hand was not nervous at all....

I put the supplies in cute pink bags and fired up my glue guns.

I had 5 ladies come and it was soon a mess of glue and glitter.....and I learned a few things...

Gladys has a bunion, Marvella barfed on a cruise, and Heddy wants a canoe for her birthday...

Ha..just kidding.  But you can see that chatting away is part-o-the-fun!

 Another uninvited guest was Stacey's calico who thinks this box I covered  is her spot...

there were treats and I think the Browned Butter Brownies with white chocolate were a hit....

a little leftover mess...sad that it is done...

 And soon it was over (3 1/2 later hours later...) Kids were calling their mommas, husbands were texting... but they all finished and I was so proud.

WAY TO GO CLASS!!
