I am particularly after opinions on the shape and how they sit. These wings were made for a blue Pleo, hence the colour however I also have matching colours for pink Pleo's and green Pleo's at my disposal :)
I am currently experimenting with the wire to hold the wing shape (these ones have only a small piece of wire running on the inside edge of the wing) and the use of glue instead of thread.

Crewella I did try to get them to sit further up, but as you mentioned they weren't very stable and they kept slipping :(

Well I am glad you all like them :) I guess I won't need to make too many changes after all. They will be available shortly.

Yep, that's what happened with mine. :(
I may try again, having seen yours. If you don't mind? They really do look great!

Have you thought of using patterned/washed fabric to give the membrane-and-scales effect?

I grabbed some extra felt today to do Norbit's pair, I got a pretty close match for colour I think, but the only patterns they had today were these hideous floral things :P

I'm going to stick to my comfort zone and stay with capes and shirts and hoodies. :) I can't wait to see what you have to send me though :)

Selling a bit of felt just doesn't seem right to me.

I'm really not sure I want to sell the wings, after all they are just bits of felt stuck together and anyone can make them :) I was thinking I might just post up the pattern and instructions and people can make their own :)

IMHO the value of anything like this is in the desirability, the design, and the workmanship. I think you'd be perfectly entitled to charge for them - many people won't be able to make them nearly as well as you can, IMR, if they can be bothered to do it at all. I'm quite into making things myself, with varying degrees of success ( %)) but I was considering buying a pair of wings from you, they're a great idea but they also look beautifully done! ;D

I already decided to soon cosplay as the mother of dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. And Pim would be a great Rhaegal!
