Butterfly style wings for a flutter pony
By Aikarin
These
hand-painted wings are a project for the person who owns Phalaenopsis,
the Moth Orchid Flutter. They sparkle like crazy in real life...I
had to take these pictures in shadows to minimize glare! ^_^
They were carefully painted with
artist-grade acrylics, then given a generous coating of clear iridescent
glitter on both side. Since they are hand-painted, slight variations
exist between the two halves & even the top & bottom. A few
accents of purple and plum glitter were added to the top side.
The bottom
features the same colors: light pink, dark pink, light purple, and
white. The wings are sealed with a few coats of gloss varnish.
I
used a stiffer type of plastic for the base, so wires are not necessary to
position the wings correctly.
Below is a picture before completion:

darker than this pic)
These wings are NOT FOR SALE.
