"Beth"
Bronze Powertex and gold Power Pigments

"Caitlin"
Green Powertex and Copper Power Pigments
using a plaster heads ("ester" from Powertex), wooden dowel and base
building up the body with foil and masking tape
and 18 gauge wire for the wings
and for the dress and wings I experimented with
 a variety of natural items (seen below)
Power cotton and handmade paper for the wings 
gauze, doily and cotton t-shirt for the dresses
 
I am getting ready for a show next month
so lots of  " works in progress"  on my tables

    3. hey kay, now that I take a closer look, the top angel(gold and brown) is cheesecloth body and wings and a t-shirt dress. the second (green and copper is cheesecloth body, t-shirt dress and handmade paper for the wings, you can see the use of powercotton on my post http://nancylynndonaldson.blogspot.ca/2014/06/powertex-angel.html
      hope that clears things
