I've just finished making these ancient Roman inspired "laurel wreath" crowns out of jewel beetle shells and preserved 17 year cicada wings. I've done three of the jewel beetle ones, so one is in my Etsy (link in bio), the cicada wing one is one of a kind so far so I haven't listed it yet. I'm really happy with how these came out!

Brooch

Edgar Bense for Boucheron

c.1890

Conceived as a dazzling dragonfly with delicate plique-à-jour wings, this brooch epitomizes the Art Nouveau style in both fashion and manufacture. With its translucent wings set en tremblant and its sparking rose-cut diamonds, the present jewel catches the light brilliantly. In the enameling technique called plique-à-jour, vitreous enamel is applied to openwork wire cells without a backing, creating the transparent effect of stained glass. The house of Boucheron was founded in 1858 by Frédéric Boucheron (1830–1902). First opened in the Galerie de Valois, under the arcades of the Palais Royal, the shop was perfectly situated in the center of Second Empire Parisian luxury. In 1893 Boucheron moved to the Place Vendôme—the first of the great French houses to occupy that location—where it remains headquartered to this day, with more than 30 branches across the globe.

Concepts for how to attach feathers in Wing Bois.

First, with tiny bead clamps. Different number of feathers can mean different things. The side they are worn on can indicate things too, like wedding bands being traditionally worn on the left.

Second, an ear cuff that will hold feathers!

Not pictured, attaching them in braids, Rito-style.

Feathers can technically last a long time, but depending on the wear the ones in the hair get they are replaced periodically.

Just some fun concepts for light gauze streamers on wing tips, or large “capes” for the wings. These aren’t normally practical for flying, but worn for festivals for sky dances! All that light, billowing fabric looks incredible in motion.
