     Its not finished yet. How big should wings be?

    How lovely Fidget (and I recognise that copper jugimage).  Not sure I am qualified to answer the question, on account of being small, yellow and fluffy, but those wings look just the right proportion to me.  i'm sure a Fairygirl will be around soon to give a more informed opinionimage

    I wanted a dandelion and fairy, a la Trentham, but fantasywire do a DIY kit for a 6 inch fairy, so hubby has been busy with the pliars and yards of wire, and one of my Allium seedheads. He's not sure about the wings though.

    its his interpretation of this

    I might have to stick a fine bamboo rod up the allium stem. It's threatening to bend.

    and they can never be too big fidget... image

    That's gorgeous, incidentally. Clever hubby. I may be slightly biased, but that's a lovely thing to have made  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    On a slightly different scale, have you seen the wire menagerie at the Tower of London?
