DIY Large Angel Wings

I made these large angel wings by first drawing a wing with its feathers on large newsprint paper.  I then traced onto wood (some old paneling that I had) and cut out with a jig saw. 
I then, from my drawing, cut out one layer at a time of the wings to use as a stencil and using a putty knife applied putty or drywall mud.  You can see my layers of putty on the photo. 


 When that dried I painted the wings black.  I then lightly painted white with a downward stroke to leave the details of the putty feathers. The bottom feathers I used a screwdriver to scrape lines in the white paint exposing the black underneath.  I love how they turned out.  It was also super easy.
