That sounds like the metaphorical title for something, but of course I mean it literally.
Eros, coming soon! The wings are Kato Polyclay over a mostly brass armature.
Brushed Kato Polyclay over gold-plated wire & archival tissue paper. The tissue paper & wire were coated with PVA glue and allowed to dry, supplying the clay with a congenial surface. Several colours of Pearl Ex powder, from Jacquard, were brushed on, as well. This was the first pair I made in this way, actually. Now I prepare to attach them to somebody.
A scan of the wings for the fairy I’m aiming to put on eBay this week, much enlarged.
They’re brushed Kato Polyclay over archival tissue paper, with gold-filled wire armature. I also dusted them with Pearl Ex powders before baking. No paint was used; the colours are mixed Kato. More anon...
(And more on people’s delightful Inscrutable Scribble speculations... far more entertaining than what I’m actually doing!)
