Hi all! For the upcoming dragon design I am a little torn. (pic below)

Do we go with all minky wings/spines (easier and applicable to a lot of designs)

or

Colorful transparent vinyl wings/spines with minky for the gold parts 

(a bit trickier + less applicable to other designs/projects perhaps?)

This poll will not guarantee what I go with but I would really like to hear what you would prefer to see.

Seeing the technique of using the vinyl is something I've always wanted to understand better. But I see that option is losing ;_;

Minky and that fabric that stretches and it’s iridescent (I think it’s spandex but idk)

NazFX_Studios

Unfortunately a lot of the time that fabric degrades with age and flakes off. I haven't had good experience with it

Pumpkin studios

Aww that sucks :( it would look so cool if it would of worked. Could you do a vinyl version and a minky version?

Alvienta

If you did vinyl would the pattern be similar for if you want to use minky?

Sherpagutz

I'd love to learn to do both but I understand it's probably not possible due to time constraints. I feel torn about which one to pick because I feel like both would turn out incredible. In the end I'd be happy with either option.

NazFX_Studios

I think it might be a different method unfortunately

Bluebell

Transparent vinyl sounds so cool, but I don't think I'll ever use it :( I'm scared to sew/embroider vinyl. It looks like a pain.

I feel like patterning the wing for minky is really easy and if people want that, it'd be simple for them to modify. Vinyl is a lesser used material and I'd like to see what you'd do with it. I think since most people don't use it, it'd be one of those niche tutorials that people would go out of their way to buy. It's something that could be adapted to a lot of different creatures (like mermaids!) and would make it unique.

SLAUGHTERGUTZ

That's why I think Naz should use it tbh. Seeing a professional use it is super helpful for materials I haven't used before

Bluebell

I know some people embroider on it for keychains. If you do the vinyl, I would love to see embroidery. I want to try embroidery on it, even if it seems rather daunting.

NazFX_Studios

If I don't end up using it for this plush I will endeavour to use it on something else in future. As you said a mermaid would be perfect

NightDemon

I would love to see the transparent vinyl!!! My oc wing are transparent so l really wanna see how to do it!!!

I picked the all minky option because I've worked with clear vinyl before and it was Not Fun, but I'll make it however the pattern dictates, and I'm sure you would provide crafting tips for working with the vinyl to make it more user friendly. I just really had a hard time with it last time I used it LOL, especially if anything at all, like spray adhesive, happens to get on the vinyl, oh geez what a hassle - rubbing alcohol was the best thing I found and even that was very tedious to get all of the adhesive off LOL

I feel like all minky would work better for other dragon designs! (+ minky is the best fabric to work with xD)

Emily Weibel

I would really love to try using vinyl but I think it's going to make it a lot less "cuddly" so I think minky would be cooler to work with

That One

I love this design
