HOWTO Make a mummified fairy

Cobwebs sez, "Since Halloween is galloping up, I thought you might like this tutorial for making a 'dead fairy' wunderkammer object out of a miniature plastic skeleton. Fun! Easy!"

Tutorial: Mummified Fairy (Thanks, Cobwebs!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Forest fairies evolved wings that look like leaves as a defensive coloration strategy. (Actually, I just wanted to post something that used the words “evolved” and “fairies” in the same sentence).

I’d like to put one in a jar, a-la Shrek. Maybe someone caught a fairy and forgot to feed it.

Monstrous.

i was referring to the south park episode, and i dont concede much difference in fairies/angels or fossils/mummies.

plus it was a cartoon.

  Simpsons did an angel, not a fairy, plus it was a fossil, not a mummy.

It looks good, except for the wings. They’re very obviously dead leaves.
