Status Report – Wings and Gussets

Thanks to Debbie from NJ for the suggestion that it is time to do status reports on all the pieces once again.

Here are photos of the wings and two of the five gussets. The wings are now done except for the bird beaks, a possible bird-eye detail, and all the gold and sequins.

These gussets are also done except for gold and sequins. There are three more gussets; one of them has a tiny scridge (note use of technical term) of green ceylon, part of a columbine, that is yet to do; the rest is just gold and sequins. “Tricia traced this wrong,” said Wendy, when she was examining the gussets for done-ness. “Really? No way,” I said. “Yes, she should have fixed it so we didn’t have to deal with this silly little edge.” Note that Tricia was not in the room to defend herself.
