  1. so cute ^^

    is it a lot of work to make them ?

  2. About a day, though having done it once might make it go faster.

    I’m very pleased with how firm, yet flexible the wings turned out. If it holds up I might harness it with other outfits as well.

  3. what fabrik or something is it made of?
    what technique did you use?

    (yes, fan of butterflies)

  4. The fabric-base is just a lace applique I purchased online.
    The work however goes into the tin frame making it stand up with adjustable wings while pin-able like a brooch.

    Maybe I’ll post a making-of picture someday, when I don’t have something else to write about :smile:

  5. looks really awesome!

    would love to try and make one myself… lack of time till WGT so i wont be able… (work + exams and then we leave for WGT)

  6. Beautiful work! Love it :smile:

  7. UPDATE: Changed picture to match the general outlook of revelation posts.
