Lady Augusta- Trials for clothing

I really want parts of Lady Augusta's clothing to be 3D and so today was about experimenting with very very thin strips of copper :)

For the lace on her dress I rolled metal through with some lace but the metal got too thin and started to crack and curve round so it was really difficult to do!

I then just bent it round with my fingers as it was really pliable.

The feather I just cut out with a pair of (now blunt) scissors which has worked really well but the spikes are rather sharp!
