Well, the biggest part of the job was creating a wings. I used wire (aluminium - it's silver, metallic, easy to use) for construction, this was a bit tricky but with practice - anything can be done. After that I added cardboard (cut to top shape - silhouette) of wing to make it sturdier and covered it with shiny transparent material usually used for decorating flower bouquets. Clutches/claws were made from cardboard and later sprayed with silver and gray color. I sawed tulle Tummy on black shirt and added few lines with silver marker. One baseball hat, piece of white fabric, bit of black, cardboard teeth - there's a head. Tail was made from cardboard, legs are sprayed leggings, few details on the back...
