Steampunk Wings 2

Published:

Description

I finally got around to creating new steampunk wings! Since my friend was the one who originally wondered if it would even be possible to make such wings I decided to make a pair for her for her birthday. I also figured that if I was cutting the necessary pieces to make one new set, I should just double it and make two. One set for her and one set to sell.

The wings are made from plywood and walnut. I stained the pieces using red mahogany stain. Small brass nails are use to hold the pieces in place. I printed the clock faces out on fabric and used mod podge to blur the image slightly and also to protect it. I used embellishments that i have been steadily collecting over to to make them all pretty! Since the photos have been taken I have changed the straps to a thinner black vinyl trim with round metal holes with buckles to make it more for a one size fits all feel. I also made the edges on the wings slats rounded so no more unintentional stabbing occurs.

I’m having so much fun making these, the designing of the wings is challenging and wonderful. I can’t wait to see what I can make next. With each set I make I learn better ways to create them.
