Believing in Faeries

So my quest to create my li’l Bug the ultimate dress up box for Christmas 2012 continues. Tada!  Faery wings!  And yes, I did create a full outfit, because I am slightly mental in that way.

To make the faery wings was actually pretty easy but pretty time consuming as well, since I had to keep letting the paint dry.  I’m quite happy with them in the end, even if I wanted to pull my hair out a number of times.

Here’s the mask and tutu I made to go with them:

They both took a fair bit of time as well.  The mask because the paint and glue had to dry, and the tutu because there’s 10 metres of dress net in that tutu.  It took ages to tie it all on. By ages, I mean somewhere in the region of 4-6 hours.  I got distracted by the TV at times.

I’m really excited, and I can’t wait for her to see them.  However, her dress up box is nearly done.  I’m just waiting on my brother to get one more measurement, and then I’ll be making a 2-sided hooded cloak and a 2-sided cape.  Both red and black.

In the meantime, I’m going to focus on some blankets that I need to get done for family.  I’ve got 3 months to get 3 blankets done.  4 blankets actually.  Yikes.  Better get cracking.

Happy crafting everyone!
