Okay this is... the world's worst design doodle, ever. It's below stickman-art. Apparently I can't even draw a square in Photoshop, let alone angel wings, so this looks horrible but hopefully it illustrates the idea.
The Idea:
I've always loved this scene from Supernatural:
![]()
And wanted to replicate the effect of the angel wings being shown in shadow. I wanted to use the basic idea behind shadow projectors like these:
![]()
To create the effect, and then try and work it into a stand for the angel blade.
With that in mind, this is my very very very very very basic terribly drawn photoshop sketch. Please be kind!

Uhmm... yeah. The intended effect would be to see the blade, the plaque, a little backlighting, massive shadowy angel wings on the wall, and not see the candle or the template wings and for it to not look terrible. The plaque will obviously say "I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition."
I could make it out of any material, since LED candles are cold, but cutting the (properly drawn) wings would be something I'd have to send-away to have done.
I have no idea how I'd get it all to stick together and not look terrible. I'd like to encapsulate as much of it as I could, but I'll have to see how that effects the shadow being cast.
I think ideally the wings would sprout right out of the base instead of being on a lame stick thing, and the candle would be in a recessed well so that the light hit at the right angle to make the shadow cast up, big, on the wall behind.
I think the next step is to build a model out of cardboard to see how it actually works, and how far away the candle needs to be, what angle, what size the wings need to be, how much of it I can enclose, etc etc.
All suggestions gratefully received ^^; hopefully without jargon, as this is my first thing ever and I know nothing!
