blackbird

As part of my quest for a more balanced life, I've decided to construct the clothing for our latest project myself.  I'm thinking tail feathers, though I don't want it to read "bird" too literally.  I'd rather have the overall effect be powerful feminine post-apocalyptic futuristic gargoyle.  So I guess it's easy to see why I'd have trouble finding something ready-made. 

Oh and in case you're wondering, no, I have no idea what I'm doing.  I don't even own a sewing machine.  This is yet another blind journey into the complete unknown.  For now I'm just fraying fabrics and playing with draping shapes.  We'll see if in a week I have an actual skirt.  If it's a success I'll let you know, if not, we'll just pretend we never had this conversation, ok?
