ahhh, one of my favourite things to make bear_wub  bear_wub There are so so many, when I began, I started off with buying ready made (fake) butterflies, chopping out the middle (gizzards lol) and then embelishing the wings with more glitter and paint, and attaching them to my bears, I still have a collection of bears made with these sorts of wings, they are so nice still and stand up well I think. 
If you want to make your own from scratch, there are sooo many ways now... fantasy film and fibre, TLS, printouts on the computer....mind you, a lot of it is trial and error, even if you have instructions written out in front of you, still give yourself time to play, and make mistakes...its fun, well I think it is  bear_tongue  Even now, a good set of wings will take me 3-4 hours....gosh I haven't actually timed myself coz I do enjoy it, but I think that's approx right....
If your more intrested in getting ready made, but still with the appeal of hand made... look into ebay, there are lots of people who make wings, and if you don't enjoy the process, it may be the way to go, some of them are stunning!

I've been using Peony since the last time this question was raised lol, gosh, isn't it a nice feeling to know we've all been around here for so long  bear_wub

A sewing machine is always a good tool to have, especailly for big bears, you can sew up bodies and limbs in a flash, even if you leave the head and paw pads for hand sewing like I do.  I always sew my little ones by hand, but even still, sewing machines always come in handy for bear clothes too...

Jellybelly Bears

Jellybelly Bears

Oh dear me.....that isn't very nice is it....I was a tad upset the other night over a custom order that I made up and she chose not to adopt even though I followed her instructions, but she was nice and sorry for the inconvenience etc so it made it bearable...there isn't reason to be mean...its so hard with commissions...all I can do is offer you hugs, and time....it feels better once the anger settles and you can think clearly.....hugs!

Jellybelly Bears

Oh my gosh....doesn't it make your blood boil.....Millie, I'm so glad people like you are on this earth...I hope these puppies recover...I'm just sickened by this sort of stuff....as we all are, I know  bear_angry  And yorkies are an "in" breed....at any age, people pay lots for them over here, wonder what this guy was on about.....hugs to you Millie, many of them  :hug:

Jellybelly Bears

Raewyn, my dog keeps me company too, aren't they the best  bear_innocent he even sits on my lap as I sew or stuff, awkward at times hehe

Jellybelly Bears

Sandra, thats a fabulous idea and I bet it will work....I've tried the pillows...all sorts piled on my lap to raise the level but still keep the control with no slip, but nothing works well enough...but this sounds so promising...the surface on the foam should do it, I may be able to shape it too...thanks!
Laura, I like your idea too, will try that one, and Daphne, yes, I was thinking of just standing if all else fails..and, ahhh, yes...the old 15 mins rule...lol...I never can stop myself!  bear_whistle
okay, so I have many bears to make to try out all these techniques lol
thanks soooooooo much everyone  :hug:  :hug:
