Butterfly

From: nature
Date: Halloween 2006
Pattern(s) used: None

Fabric Swatch(s): N/A

Kori wanted to honor her mom's memory by being a butterfly, because they were her favorite. I found an awesome wing tut on LJ and volunteered to make them for her. They were pretty big and purple and glittery. She wore her own clothes with the wings. They were made on the same wire from the Black Swan costume, with panty hose over them and then painted. I used incense to burn little holes into the pantyhose, then went around them with the glue glitter to keep them from running.

Favorite part: The colors were nice and it was sparkly!

Least favorite part: Bending the wire. It was tough going. Also, they were pretty bulky on Kori and I couldn't really bend them well enough so they stuck OUT - they stuck out to her sides and she had to go through doorways sideways. She loved them, though, so it was worth it.
