It might get tricky with my "S" curve shaft design but it's something to look into.Dani Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03428810606622343138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972993096558020885.post-78921627480062754362012-04-21T22:59:26.643-07:002012-04-21T22:59:26.643-07:00Wow, sorry folks for being off the radar lately, a...Wow, sorry folks for being off the radar lately, and thanks for the comments. <br /><br />I'm using simple old craft foam, or fun foam for the feathers. There are a lot of wing makers out there who use the same material. I tried volara at one point since it's lighter weight but was disappointed with the texture.<br /> <br />All previous work I've done with wings was laminated fabric, mostly poly dress lining and medium weight interfacing. I played around with alot of laminates, epoxies, liquid starch, spray starch, wallpaper glue...and settled on wood petrifier.Dani Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03428810606622343138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972993096558020885.post-59727169412610839502012-02-08T00:37:59.817-08:002012-02-08T00:37:59.817-08:00I sent you an email about the Faux feathers you cr...I sent you an email about the Faux feathers you created for the Angel of Death costume before I found your blog. What materials did you use to create the feathers for the Angel of Death? I would love to use that in my Halloween display in the future. Thank you!

I see you made some progress with the faux feathers:) May i ask what kind of foam you use exactly? is it heavy? ; i am busy making a motorized wingsuit for a 5y old boy, and i try to keep it below the 3Kg, so i can use any good idea i come across :)<br />best <br />Marcelmarcelhttp://bushitaka.deviantart.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972993096558020885.post-55123620325928667802011-10-07T20:22:28.172-07:002011-10-07T20:22:28.172-07:00Hi Dani!

I've made faux feathers from it for wings and even stage millinery. A shaft can be added by folding the foam over and sewing a quarter (or smaller) inch seam and inserting wire. Unfold the foam and cut the feather shape. Voila, a shaft. This works best if you want the shaft in the center of the feather, but it may work on one side if you trim them.DeniseG615https://www.blogger.com/profile/18154094382017561751noreply@blogger.com
