Lab Report 6

  In lab I was able to sew on her Majesty's wings to the wiring that is being used to support the wings. It was time consuming but very exciting. It was cool to see how it came together and flowed well enough to keep me going. I worked on the shape of the wings to make it more of a halo that trails behind her. My initial goal was to make them look like butterfly wings but I felt it would have been too heavy and would get in the way of the flow of movement. I forgot to take pictures but my original inspiration came from Queen Elizabeth: Golden Age. In one scene where she enters the church she has these two looped soft tulle "wings" reminiscent of her butterfly queen nickname. I found some tulle that had gold specks on it and was long enough to make her entrance a little more grand. I loved working with the wire and trying to put it together. Resolving to not glue the tulle but sew it made a huge difference. In the version I worked on it was draped so it almost looked like a hood but I had trouble getting the length right. It was hard but worth it. Talking to Sis. Dooley she suggested making the train drag no more than a foot or so behind her so she could move about without too much trouble.
