Im trying to make some wings, like butterfly wings from a peacock feather.About 3cm wide.
I gave up as it was a bit tricky to cut into shape but then i thought put masking tape on the back, it will hold the feathery bits in place and I can draw the shape on it I want.
I just gave it a go and i realised I really have to plan where i cut it from.
Obviuosly it all has to join at some point so all the bits dont come off.
I want to use the most of the gorgeous eye bit .
I tried to place the join point (where the wing would attatch to a butterfly body)at the centre spine of the feather but because of the shape of the wing and me probably not planning ahead it all fell apart.
Any idea on wing shape and where to cut it from?
