I thought I'd try something new this time, I have lots of plastic and metal bits and pieces, all things that were about to be thrown away that I saved. I love automaton and thought I'd try making one! thought I'd choose something simple... so of course I go and make a creature with articulating wings!

Although I picked something insanely hard to begin with, and my angel only attempts to fly but I loved the prototyping process and I learned a lot from it, soldering all these small bits and pieces, making an articulating wing, sewing and weaving paper. It was such a fun project to make!

I used things like broken plug converter for the head, feathers are made from old foam packing material, a sock and some scrap fabric, vest is weaved from stripes from a matchbox, pen parts and glue bottle caps for the legs, the halo is a washer I picked off the ground one day.

Thanks to Alexis Noriega for sharing her wings tutorial! I used it as reference, she does spectacular work! Check her channel out:
