I'm working on making my own broken umbrella wings though I'm going to have them stationary and I'm debating whether to use light weight metallic clay to flesh it out or if i should take the more time consuming route and wire wrap them

decided to go with wire wrapping...reccomend using powertools to wrap the wire quickly and efficiently... doing the wire wraping by hand hurts after the first hour

My Comic Con buddies want to go steampunk next year, and frankly, I want to go BIG or not at all...

I was thinking I wanted mechanical wings, possibly even wind-up (like a wind-up mechanical angel) and was trying to think of ways in which to make my wings move without flapping my arms.

I know I am shooting pretty high on this one, but I'd figured I'd take a crack at it.

Any tips or links?
For halloween a few years ago I was an angel and Had a pair of wings that were motorized and you can remove them for easy storage. they were about 12-14 dollars. you could get that and make some light weight wings out of cardboard and foil, balsa wood... or even some thin lightweight metal... heres a link for the moving angel wings.

moving wings abit more exspensive than mine but the same style:
