I have always been fascinated by mythological creatures, especially fairies. So I decided to create a pair of wings that moved or fluttered. I fashioned the wings using wire coat hangers, copper jewelry wire, and iridescent cellophane. To disguise the coat hanger, I piped on hot glue and painted it with gold acrylic paint. Since I am not mechanically inclined, I wanted to use a ready-made mechanism to make my wings move. During a trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond, I noticed a salad spinner with a pull-string and I thought "THAT'S IT!". I affixed the wings and a harness to the spinner using hot glue. To complete my look, I crafted a tutu and gold leaf crown.
