work,work,work

IV'E STARTED TO REALISE HOW MUCH MY LIFE ACTUALLY REVOLVES AROUND THIS PROJECT NOW, IT'S QUITE SAD! TODAY I STARTED TO DRAFT THE WING OUT SO I GOT SOME CARDBOARD AND STARTED TO PLAN HOW THIS WING WOULD ACTUALLY FASTEN ONTO THE GARMENT AND THE SHAPE AND SIZE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TO WORK. FIRSTLY MY DAD DREW ROUND MY TO GET THE SIZE RIGHT (VIEW PICTURE BELOW BEARING IN MIND HE EXADURATED HOW FAT I WAS - I HOPE!) THEN WE GOT ALL MY DRAFTS OUT, PICKED THE BEST ONE AND STARTED TO DRAW IT UP IN PROPORTION. IN THE END WE GOT THE OUTLINE DOWN AND STARTED TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT WOULD WRAP AROUND THE BODY BECAUSE ONCE THE COPPER HAS BEEN HEATED AND BENDED IT'S FIXED IN THAT SHAPE SO WE DECIDED THE BEST THING TO DO WAS FIX A BRACKET ONTO THE SPINE OF THE GARMENT SO THE WING COULD SWING ROUND.
THE NEXT STEP WAS TO GO TO THE GARDEN CENTRE TO DECIDE WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE FILLED IN WITH, WE LOOKED AT THE COPPER SHEETING, TARPAULIN AND METAL MESH'S AS THERE ALL DURABLE AND STRONG FOR PROTECTION.
WE THEN GOT BACK AND ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN THE BONES I GOT THE OTHER DAY, THE FIRST BONE WE DID WAS OKAY, WE GOT IT OUT, PUT IT IN A BUCKET WHICH WAS THEN FILLED WITH WATER AND BLEACH THEN IT WAS READY FOR THE SKULLS TO GO IN, LITTLE DID WE KNOW THE SKULLS WERE COMPLETE WITH EYES AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I OPENED THE BAG TO FIND ONE STARING AT ME, THE BAG THEN GOT SHUT STRAIGHT AWAY AND ME AND MY DAD HAD A 10MIN DELIBERATION ON WHO WAS THEN GOING TO PUT THE SKULLS IN THE BLEACH BECAUSE WE COULDN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF PICKING THEM UP SO IN THE END WE JUST GOT THE BAG, TIPPED IT OVER THE BUCKET AND RAN OFF. ALL THE BONES ARE CURRENTLY IN MY BACK GARDEN SOAKING IN BLEACH SO THERE CLEAN, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELLS NOW GOING TO GET THEM OUT OF THE BUCKET WHEN THERE CLEANED OFF.
WHY DO I DO THESE THINGS?!

- DRAFTING UP THE WING (I AM AWARE IT LOOKS LIKE A CRIME SCENE)


- SCOURING THE GARDEN CENTRE FOR MATERIALS. (I LOVE HOW PEOPLE TELL ME HOW BAD MY HAIR LOOKS FROM THE BACK!)


- BONE CLEANING, YUM. (NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS BECAUSE OF THE SIZE, SAW I IN HALF AND MAKE A SPINE/ATTATCHMENT FOR THE WING TO FIX ON TO?)
