We Have Wings!

Well, the first one at least. Michael has done a really good job of making one. We bought extra material just in case but won't need it. We finally found fabric that would suit the element that each of my attendants will have. I'm pretty sure that I mentioned before that I wanted them to be elemental fairies. The wings shouldn't get in the way of anything or be annoying for them to wear. They also won't look cheap.

I'm relieved. It was one of the few things that I had solid in my mind about wanting from day 1. Poor Michael, I've been driving him nuts with it. He had the idea last week to make the wings iridescent stretched over the shape of the wire but his sample just didn't look right to me. The wire looked too big. This new way doesn't use as much wire so that the wings flow better. The little wire there is shapes the outer edge and gives them just enough spring to help the flow. Yay!

Our AC has broken down so I am spending the day at home waiting on repairmen. That means the invitations will go out on Monday. So, I'm taking me time getting them together. I'm up to date (and even ahead) with the class stuff so I can do those and some dissertation stuff this weekend. Things are at least getting done.
