I was playing around with ways to print out fairy wings the other night and discovered that you can get a fairly good looking wing with an opaque look to it by printing the wings on the velum sheets intended for scrapbooking. Feeding one of the sheets into my computer’s inkjet printer I was able to print out a very nice series of wings.

After printing the sheet I cut out a set of wings which I will be using to make a Christmas themed fairy. I’m still in the planning stages on the figure, and have a lot of other figures that I have to work on before I can actually start working on the Christmas themed fairy, so it will probably be closer to Valentines Day before the figure is finished.

This picture shows what the wings look like when paired with a very roughly tossed together figure posing like a manikin with them. I will be modifying the wings from this point to get more of a fairy type look to them rather than a butterfly type look. When I get to that stage I will take more pictures and share what the fairy looks like then.

If you are not looking to create your own wings like this, I would suggest looking into the wings made by Caressa (AKA: Cute_Scooby) at eBay. I just ordered one of her sets of pre-made wings and one of the wing making kits that she has up for auction at eBay.  I’ll let you know what I think of the wings and the kit when I get them.

You can also find Caressa’s pre-made wings at The Morezmore Estate at eBay. I love Morezmore, I have got quite a few things from her, including the convection oven that I am currently using.  If you need it for your OOAK project, prosculpt to mohair, then you can probably find it at Morezmore.
