Today I am building bugs
That’s cool! I’ve seen a favourite doll artist make bee/fairy wings with wire and resin like that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf__Z2l5Tks

Crepe paper & pva here, but yay 😺
That looks so cool. They would look great in a hanging mobile
and does anyone else remember that craft where you could make shapes in wire loops and dip in some kind of liquid plastic that would dry?
I found a video of it 😊 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQXKtLuDcIQ
Another similar craft I remember is using panty hose fabric in wire loops, you could get use different colours and texture hose of course
I keep meaning to make garden defender moths out of deceased pantyhose. Same basic idea, loop of wire & cover it. 🦋
