Description
Since I promised to finish her wings first, here's what we've been working on for the last 3 days (on & off, anyways - there was a Rodeo somewhere in there...).Primary/Secondary feathers & harness only - cover-feathers are on the way. Her gloves are recycled band gloves, and have worked well so far~

They are not for sale at the moment, but if I ever opened for commissions they'd probably be in the $1,000+ range, from materials and amount of time/effort in construction.

Fantastic work!! Had to laugh!! I did that silly, sing-song, "Nightime-Daytime" from that nature video, when I saw that in your tutorial!!

heloo.. excuse me.. ahh... can i ask you a question?.. actually the feather is made of the paint right??..

Questions are welcome~
And sort of - paint is used as the "glue" that keeps the fabric together - the whole process is detailed here

These look SUPER fun!! Great job!
I totally want a pair! lol Seems like alot of work though, and time to make it which I just dont have...lmao
I would love to have a black pair of wings... like big raven wings or something........^_^ Or rainbow wings!! XD
Have you ever thought about making fairy wings or butterfly wings?

Glad you like - if you're interested in commissioning a pair from me, shoot me a note. I should be opening in the next few months & there's already a list forming...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm...maybe. I dont really have the money right now, but if they're not too pricey I might think about it. =3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not sure, is a couple hundred dollars qualify as "too pricey"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
A couple hundred to be honest is rather cheap. If I ever do an avian and you are still doing wing commissions, I'm certainly going to be contacting you for the job <3

Ah, I see what you mean...well I'll be doing more research & price comparisons before opening commissions.

Well, the materials all add up to between $80 - $100, but they're so time-intensive...buying the materials is the easy part!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes yes, I understand.
Ya, thats a little pricey for me thought.

I just had an idea, and by no means am I telling you what to do or anything like that, I just want to help
Would it be better if you used arm-length gloves and sewed the elastic to it? Then there wouldn't be as much of a gap between the arm and the feathers as I noticed in other updates. Even with the arm coverings, in my opinion, they still kind of look funny (but still amazingly awesome too! 
Just a thought, I have no idea if it would work, though I might try it when I find time to make my own pair
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Hmmm... thats a great idea actually. Sounds a ton easier too.
Im sure there would be a few different ways to make these. Whichever way works best for you I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would definitely change how they worked, and you would have to make sure the sleeve didn't bunch up and stuff, but it would make it a lot easier to make the feathers look like they are part of the arm. I would experiment, but I'm not sure I have the time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lmao ya... me either.
But I would think just attaching some wings to an armband and then making like a chris cross on your back so you dont have to attach strings to your pants. I dunno... Im just thinking out-loud. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, too bad we can't see if these ideas would work before we tried them out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh, I love ideas~
And the reason for the elastic is to keep the secondary feathers spaced correctly when opening/closing the wings. Flight feathers (usually) connect into a birds bone, but are still able to flex to some degree. I haven't figured out a way to imitate that on an arm/sleeve contraption, but until I do my current set up works alright.
Thanks for the input!

Ah, I see it now...
hmm, I love puzzles, maybe I'll think on that for a while and get back to you if I come up with anything
I can't wait for the next tutorial, I'm really excited to see how it turns out

Would you be wiling to custom make a pair similar to these? I wear a Seahawks game day outfit that would look amazing if I could get these wings in a bright green and blue. How much would you want to make them? Or could you send me the list of supplies I will need, or more importantly where to find the supplies please.

I think you replied to the wrong person

how much does it cost all together to make both wings?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I'm still in the process of adding it all up, but they use up many yards of fabric, heavy-gauge wire, LOTS of alligator clips, elastic, yards of harness-straps, 3-4 feet of latex tubing......gah, just check my tutorials for a complete-ish list (I'll have to compile an overall list when I finish...
