A Birthday Surprise

Somebody has a birthday coming up.
I won't tell you who, because I want it to be a surprise.
And really, who wouldn't want to be surprised by a pair of bird wings for their birthday?

These were really fun to make, and even more fun trying to get 5 to help me figure out the ergonomics.
The best part?
I happened to have a ton of these feather shapes already! I hardly had to cut any new ones at all!

They were inspired by these. Great tutorial too. I didn't really use it, but, that's just how I roll.

Then I saw that the wings that inspired my wings were in turn inspired by these wings!
For grownups!
So go make yourself some wings!
The main difference between mine and these other two is that instead of ribbon around the neck, I used elastic shoulder straps to hold them on. No choking. Yay!
