Wings ...Day 2!

So I "Worked" on wings again today.  I went in many different directions...and failed a couple of times...but now I feel like I'm getting  "Some where else"!!!!

The rust thing worked so cool...In the morning...there were small rust spots on the wire that I treated last night...but I remembered reading ..Apply in thin coats...to get a heavier effect.  So I did one more coat...and I LOVE  what it looks like.  I now have a "Rusty old pair of wings" from a fairy that has been lost out in the elements for years and years!  I found this crinkled mat shimmer  type paper that was for making bows...cheap stuff... I glued it to the rusty frames and hit it with the heat gun...maybe because it was cheap...It  tightened smoothed in an instant..leaving those tiny crinkles all around the edges next to the wing frame, but remaining So Crystal Clear everywhere else! 

 I dont know if I really captured it in the pictures, but the wings look like rusty old window frames...with  that old looking glass that has "Frost" on the edges because its so "fridgid" out!  These are my favorite wings...because I keep seeing these old windows to some old forgotten place! 

Then I did a "shimmer" pair that I am pretty happy with...The frames were wired around a wing design that i took from a wing art cd printed on a clear plastic sheet (its 4 seperate wings wired together.... I then used Ranger Gold alcohol ink mixative to color the wire...It gives it a more Matte metallic look.  I used the sheets of angelina glued to the frame and "zapped" with heat!  Then metal findings were also colored with the gold after being attached.  I coated the wing with Triple thick closs coating.  After drying...I added gems...Actually its still not dry...I just had to finish them! hahah!
