As part of my freelance work with the props department at the English National Opera I helped with the making of the wings for their recent show Angel's Bone, this came with a number of challenges as the wings needed to be plucked and snapped in the show - later being switched to a separate pair of 'clipped wings' to demonstrate how much time has passed.  I worked alongside Phil Davison to create the silicone bases the feathers were velcroed too and the bones for the clipped wings.
