A little backstory--last year the Renaissance faire was miserably hot at about 100 degrees. So
Twila and I decided on something a little cooler to wear--Regency! With fairy wings. At Costume College I mentioned this plan to
Loren, who suggested pages from Jane Austen novels, and an idea was born!
On to making the wings!
You'll need:
Galvanized wire
Cardstock--brown for the "leather" binding and a light color for the title pages
Vellum
Printed paper
A gold pen
Glue (I used Elmer's wood glue, simply because that's what I found lurking in my dye basket)
Needle and thread
Ribbon
