Boned Dragon Wings
Wearable dragon wings with sculpted foam-clay spikes and sheer fabric panels that fold in half to fit in a suitcase.

Clawed wire ribs sweep out into panels of sheer fabric, ridged with sculpted spikes and bony texture that catch the light when you move. Sam Budine builds the frame from galvanized wire and foam tubing, then drapes it in thin layers of foam clay for that skeletal dragon anatomy before bonding the fabric and hiding the straps in clear elastic. Built to fold flat for travel, so your dragon persona actually makes it to the convention intact.
