Thanks!
Seeing as all my wings are old but incorrect, I did doubt the wing beading was right, I had thought it a bit early for plastic.
That beading looks a really good price and kind of answers my fabric question. I think I am going to make mine along with some other things in the same fabric though, just need to hunt it out!
